Access to unrestricted & secure internet anytime, anywhere Requires minimal configuration to connect to all your devices No need to pay for annual fees compared to subscribing to similar individual services With an included Wi-Fi Adapter, you can enjoy a safe and fast private network anytime and anywhere whether you are at home or on the go. Pico continues the legacy of the Deeper Connect family of products with the same plug-and-play setup and all the familiar features, providing convenience for people who travel frequently. It also avoids the awkward issue of having to explain why your internet service was used to do something very bad without your knowledge.Deeper Connect Pico is the world’s thinnest, lightest, smallest, and yet the most unique and powerful cybersecurity hardware device, which integrates a 7-layer enterprise-grade firewall and the world’s one and only Decentralized VPN (DPN). Otherwise, you're probably better off with a traditional VPN proxy service you can pay for (or get for free) and then turn off when you are done with it. Maybe the same if you want to use it to access services in other countries and those countries happen to have a lot of users of the DPN thingy and good internet service. *If* you use it for something naughty, then I guess you get your money's worth. The major difference seems to be that a large part of the time this Deeper Connect thing will probably do nothing but use your internet service to source traffic that other people don't want to be showing up as coming from their IP address. Their little boxes absolutely can and probably do collect user information and usage data, maybe even traffic samples to sell to whoever they feel like. Also, they claim they can't datamine or collect user info and sell it because their system is decentralized except. There is no explanation of which traffic is automatically routed to other users' internet service, nor any explanation of why you would want to do that.īasically they compare themselves to VPN by showing the downsides of VPN (single points of data collection, performance issues) and then claiming they don't suffer those same issues even though they later explain that your performance while using their stuff is limited to the upstream performance of the user selected to source your traffic which means it could be often limited to 10 megabit on services with low upstream performance (cable internet mostly). Their product looks like they slapped a nice metal cover over the equivalent of a Raspberry Pi or similar and are running some DMVPN or some kind of customized socks proxy software to tunnel selective traffic through other users internet services. The website for it is just buzzword-tastic, I mean this thing uses *blockchain* to increase your security and privacy! But it very well could be legit, and most forum discussions go back and forth.Ĭlick to expand.All of their materials are pretty unprofessional at best, full of spelling mistakes, jargon without explanation, misused terminology etc., it all smacks of a get rich quick scheme. As he has been using this for some time, I don't think it is the culprit, but I do wonder if he should be using it or not. It sounds a bit like a TOR router, but other folks with such router use yours as a potential proxy / route in their traffic. All three notices happened the same day.īut, he is also using this "Deeper Connect VPN" gadget a "Distributed Private Network" which just by name alone makes my suspicion sense tingle.ĭid a bit of digging but can't find a decided answer on how legit it is. Got to looking around first, I think the actual infringement thing was someone riding his network after he factory reset the router and had it unsecured for a day or so. He then also got a notice from ISP about copyright infringement, which he doesn't do anything that would qualify. My step dad is / was having some network issues and did all sorts of crazy things trying to fix it.
