Surgeon knife can be used to kill or do surgery, the intention and outcome is in the hand of the beholder. And now humanity is waking up to the global oppression and control, however if the internet is repressed then the global connection becomes severed

This mission is very important and critical to the future, we need white-labels in every major country. We need people to be able to safely and securely access information without their rights being compromised

Let us begin the new paradigm

Announcement: The Sentinel dVPN Network Stats Page will be live again within the coming days

Note: The image posted with this announcement is of a future Stats/explorer page design that will not be implemented in the immediate weeks

The Sentinel Stats back-end interface was rendered ineffective due to a lack of compatibility ever since dVPN node hosts had to upgrade to Wireguard dVPN Docker v0.3.1. The back-end for the stats page can be seen as a completely decentralized data query system where all of the data was derived from the Sentinel blockchain with no centralized servers keeping track of nodes and other metrics.

The previous back-end architecture was configured for the previous dVPN node docker images, however after significant changes in the dVPN node code - the back-end system had to be reconfigured to properly compile the data from Sentinel's Cosmos based Hub's blocks.

The network metrics has been on a very strong trajectory in recent times as will be displayed by the stats page very soon.

Be a Blue Army Chad like Litrev. Read about his inspirational story. Have no fear. Fight for what is protect, protect our liberties and individual right to freedom. The internet is a magical global network which connects true comrades together without the requirement for physical interaction. The power of the internet is metaphysical, however it is threatened by censorship and double-agents who pose as VPN providers who can solve your problem but are instead working for the feds.

Its time to change the system.

In response to the community discussion over whether 'Solar Labs dVPN application is better than Exidio dVPN app', it is important to re-state that Exidio continuously forked the core iOS/Android application that is being actively developed and upgraded by Solar Labs and there is a process of ongoing continuous bug fixing and application development from these earlier applications. The code for each application is available on GitHub and any centralized or decentralized development team can apply their own design or even edit the front-end interface and launch their own dVPN application that uses the global network of dVPN nodes. Teams can also opt to use the Sentinel-CLI to create build their own cross-platform applications and to not fork an existing 'ios' or 'android' dVPN application release that has been developed by another team like Solar.

The Meile dVPN team has already built a terminal user-interface for access the dVPN network without any incentivization or direct communication with the core Sentinel dVPN team, and is aiming to build a desktop dVPN application as well. Each dVPN white-labelled application built on the Sentinel dVPN node network increases the network's overall global reach as each white-label application is intended to target a different demographic and cultural audience.

The Exidio core team is not responsible for the functionality of the Exidio dVPN applications and was responsible more for ecosystem proliferation and marketing at the time while Solar Labs was responsible for the white-label application development on-top of the Sentinel-Cli and dVPN network protocol. As promised, the Solar Labs team continued to reiterate and improve the Android and iOS applications and these same applications would have been forked by Exidio today to target a different market audience. Due to the amicable and respectable departure, the Exidio applications have not been updated to Solar Labs most stable iOS/Android application releases. We would like to thank Dan and Peter specifically for all of the value added in the journey and internal rift is an unfortunate circumstance in the journey of many decentralized networks. The community can now focus on the rapid growth of the network both in-terms of dVPN node providers as well as application developers. Soon the Cosmos IBC network value and reputation will rise again after the UST debacle and there will be tremendous momentum and activity in the IBC ecosystem.

Regardless of the negative sentiment around financial markets, the Sentinel #dVPN network continues to focus on real growth and user adoption.

These stats show the tremendous growth of the $dVPN network, with a new ATH of data consumed within 24hr reaching 45 TB on June 10th!

stats.sentinel.co

The recent volume of consumption of bandwidth is absolutely remarkable as the total consumption of bandwidth in the past week crossed 160 TB, which is greater than the total consumption on the Sentinel ETH based DVPN network which lasted for over a year.

Nodes are increasing, # of daily user sessions are increasing, data consumed is increasing, number of white-labels are increasing. The Sentinel ecosystem is going only in one direction and that direction is up!

Today is the Day!

SOLAR dVPN is featuring at Product Hunt today and every interaction with our page really matters.

Community hosted #dVPN exit-nodes on Sentinel have crossed 2000 for the first time since the network's inception in 2018.

stats.sentinel.co

Whether bull or bear, the utility of the $dVPN network has only increased since 2018. From 2018 to 2021 Sentinel's dVPN on ETH reached 500k + downloads.

From 2021 to current times, Sentinel's dVPN network on Cosmos has been growing exponentially in every metric whether it is the # of daily user sessions, or bandwidth consumed in a 24hr period.

The performance of Sentinel's dVPN network on Cosmos is much more impressive as compared to its performance on ETH as Sentinel's Cosmos based dVPN network is a paid service while the ETH based network was completely free and was more of a 'proof of concept'.

Sentinel's launch on Cosmos allows for users to make microtransactions for bandwidth purchases as compared to ETH's inefficient gas system.

The MathNodes team (involving @freQniKs and others) is building and will soon launch a desktop #dVPN application for Linux and Mac OS X devices. This desktop application runs on Sentinel's Hub and utilizes its community-hosted node pool.

The UI/UX and design is currently a work-in-progress and there will be continuous process of iteration as dVPNs built on Sentinel continuously upgrade over-time in order to have a similar aesthetic and user experience quality to that of centralized VPN applications.

Watch a preview of the Meile Desktop $dVPN application below!

Anyone can build on the Sentinel-CLI to construct their own desktop or mobile applications on-top of Sentinel's Cosmos based Hub.

NEW ALL TIME HIGH RECORD:

New 'All-Time High' record for # of concurrent users on the #Sentinel #dVPN network. This means number of users connected to the dVPN network at the same time at an exact moment.

stats.sentinel.co

There are over 2700 paid users actively connected to the $dVPN network at 430 AM UTC June 24!

A new record with # of daily sessions with over 7000 dVPN sessions established on June 24th so far.

Seeing nearly 3000 people connected to the Sentinel dVPN network at the same time, while paying for dVPN services gives us a glimpse of what the future holds for Sentinel.

dApps built on Sentinel are some of the first in the Cosmos as well as overall blockchain ecosystem, to be able to provide real utility to even mainstream consumers who do not have any knowledge or experience in the areas decentralized blockchain based currencies.

Lets strive towards reaching 10s of thousands of users on a daily basis from our current average of thousands per day

One ticket to Ashgabat, please

Hey, it’s Iaroslav from SOLAR Labs. I was pretty surprised and delighted when I found out that Turkmenistan is on a 3rd place overall downloads of the iOS app. I’m not kidding! People from one of the countries with insane dictatorship regimes and online censorship use our product. I really mean it — Turkmenistan 🇹🇲 is pretty much comparable to North Korea 🇰🇵 nowadays.

We decided not to stop at this point. Do you know any bloggers, media or human rights organizations from Turkmenistan? No matter if they fled this country — tag ’em in the comments! For the sake of our mission we are looking for potential collaborations — let’s set the Internet free for everyone together.

NEW ALL TIME HIGH!

Another week brings another all time high for the Sentinel Network.

A record 3268 nodes were active on the network on Wednesday 6 July 2022. That's up from 27 from 6 July 2021 representing a 12,000% increase.

The network is not only growing, it's thriving and will only continue to expand as more nodes and whitelabel dVPNs are deployed.

Core Sentinel Update - 18 July

Decentr Browser Integration - Special thanks to BadgerBite and Seventh for spearheading the integration with the decentr browser. Read more here:

https://decentrnet.medium.com/decentr-sentinel-vpn-is-out-for-desktops-61c79a109717

This working integration is Sentinel's first working dVPN implementation that is compatible with desktop devices.

Desktop Clients - The Solar Labs dVPN desktop clients will be soon available for testing and the previews will be shared in the coming days.

The Math Nodes desktop application is also near completion and has multiple new features and functions that have been added since the last update. You can watch the latest update video posted in the public group.

Network Tokeneconomics Update - High inflation economic theory in chains based on Cosmos is now largely changing from the events of the past months and Sentinel will be one of the forerunners of the economic change and will be making inflationary reductions. More information will be shared on this before the end of the month.

Network Architecture Update - Currently the Sentinel dVPN network built on Cosmos uses Wireguard, however wireguard does not have a sophisticated relay architecture within the protocol itself. Several other superior networking protocols are being researched now which have sophisticated in-built relay networks that would realistically take the dVPN ecosystem a lengthy time to develop in-house. Integration of relay networks is of paramount importance both for the security of the future hardware bandwidth miners as well as for a user's anonymity from their desired exit node.

In the month of August most likely there will be an update on the finalized networking architecture going forward, and there may be a process of node host and client application migration. However right now the focus is to continue increasing the number of active nodes, users, as well as applications built on the Sentinel dVPN stack.

dVPN Node Incentivization - There have been several participants who have attempted to game the incentive system as the criteria for reward was not robust enough to prevent the abuse, so the system is being re-designed and will be announced soon.

🚀 Fuel your rockets, we’re 2.0 now! 🚀

🛰 What’s new?

– All-new nodes browsing UI: search, filter & sort DVPN nodes by price, country, continents & etc;
