We’re all freaking out about our online security. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are worried that their information is vulnerable when they’re on a public WiFi network. Meanwhile, almost 65 percent don’t feel safe even when they’re online in their very own homes. As front-line protection, a virtual private network (VPN) is a great start, with up to 35 percent of Americans already using a VPN for anonymous browsing, logging into work systems, or making purchases online. However, VPNs aren’t without problems, often slowing your connection speed and ultimately putting you at the mercy of your VPN provider to adequately protect you and your sensitive data. But if you’d instead rather depend on yourself online, The Deeper Connect Nano Decentralized VPN Cybersecurity Hardware ($299 from TNW Deals) is the next step in the evolution of personal online security. The benefits of Deeper Connect are pretty clear once you realize what it is — and what it isn’t. What it isn’t is a VPN. Unlike how VPN users connect to a provider’s server and use that secured connection to the web to surf and do their online business under the VPN’s protection, Deeper Connect is really a DPN. As a decentralized private network, Deeper Connect is its own private portal to the web, using blockchaining technology to fashion a fully protected connection that’s unique to you and entirely under your control at all times. Your fully secure and protected connection is constantly being optimized and rerouted for the best possible balance, ensuring you don’t run into the slowdowns and bottlenecks that often plague VPN users. At less than 2.5 inches square, the Nano connects easily with just a pair of ethernet cables, offering a connection secured with 7 layers of deep packet enterprise-grade cybersecurity firewall. And unlike a VPN, which usually only covers a handful of devices in your home, the Nano is a blanket over every WiFi-connected devices in your home, shrouding connections for everything from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to a voice assisted speaker, web-enabled TV, or even a smart appliance. Perhaps the greatest selling point of the Nano is that you don’t have to keep paying for it month after month like a VPN. Instead, the one-time only purchase is all you need to pay to take more control over the security of your entire home WiFi network. The Deeper Connect Nano Decentralized VPN Cybersecurity Hardware is available now for only $299. Prices are subject to change.
