How can Sentinel help?

1) Free open-source clients available for branding customization

2) Community-based network of node farms (example Alpha) who have the ability to abstract away the difficulties of DCMA mitigation from the VPN companies

3) Provably end-to-end encrypted ?dVPN? network

The responsibilities of the VPN companies include:
1) Legal registration and integration with the on-ramp
2) Proprietary method of customer acquisition (e.g demographically targeted SEO/SEM campaigns)

The Sentinel dVPN will remain active and will cater to the crypto community, allowing for payment through SENT token, and other Cosmos IBC supported tokens and stablecoins.

VPN companies white-labeled on the Sentinel dVPN will cater to the mainstream audience and accept only fiat payment with conversion happening in the back-end through on-ramps.

Sentinel is currently in discussion with several on-ramp providers, and the integration of fiat for payment of VPN subscriptions is essential before shift to mainnet.

The on-ramp would have the responsibility of converting the fiat into the SENT tokens before it is distributed to the trusted community ?node farms?.

We have exhibited tremendous growth in the usage of the network reaching all-time-high records in usage on a regular basis ? stats.sentinel.co - , now lets convert this into a monetized economy.

Development required for this vision to commence:
1) Completion/launch of Private Nets
2) Completion/launch of V2 Clients
3) Subscription based payment models and bandwidth metering

Tentatively we will be expecting to see the completion of these releases (minus advanced payment models) by the end of May

We are expecting to commence the white-labeling with the first member of the enterprise ecosystem being SpiderVPN UK

Painpoints/barriers to entry for a new VPN organization:

1) Cost of client development (mobile/desktop)

2) Management of nodes/handling DCMA requests

3) Potential security threats/risk of getting hacked
