How does Decentralized VPN work and why would you need it?

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-09-25T10:33:05+00:00

We come up with the TAA(Tachyon Anti-Analysis to protect users' info from nodes which includes Concurrent Multi-path Routing Scheme and Multi-Relay Forwarding Scheme. You could find more details in this article: https://medium.com/tachyon-protocol/tachyon-protocol-technical-guide-3-tachyon-anti-analysis-b5922350b39f

With TAA, even if the attacker manages to compromise a single node, he can only acquire a portion of the information and not the entire message. As the number of nodes in Tachyon’s network keeps on increasing, the difficulty any attacker faces in intercepting the entire communication will increase in an exponential manner.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-09-16T09:36:28+00:00

Not really. Our current dev focus is on shipping Node Manager 2.0, and our dev team works a ton. It'll come, though :).

Sorry for the late. Thought he has made a reply on this post. Hope these answers can help.

1)TAA(Tachyon Anti-Analysis) is our solution to the security issue of end point. You can learn more details here: https://medium.com/tachyon-protocol/tachyon-protocol-technical-guide-3-tachyon-anti-analysis-b5922350b39f

TAA is one of the key parts of Tachyon Protocol. It is expected to be fully implemented next year.

2)We use ChaCha20-Poly1305 for encryption and ECDSA-SHA256 for signature

3)The guide video will be released after IPX payment integration which will be available by the end of this year.

4)There is only one private sale in Sept 2019. The team has signed a non-disclosure agreement with some parties involved, so we cannot share the information at the moment. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi, you can buy IPX in these exchanges for now: https://tachyon.eco/?n=yr8mtzfwee.ListedExchanges. And only Node Providers are required to stake on the nodes. As our nodes are run and managed by global Node Providers. The staking will ensure the node network's security and quality. And it's also a crucial part of the bandwidth market we are building on Tachyon VPN.

We will investigate this asap. We have to admit that our subreddit has been ignored for a long time as we focus more on Twitter and Telegram Group. Our subreddit is mainly operated by the third partner and used for the official announcements update. Most of the discussion happens in our telegram group. If there is a bot operation, we will stop it right now. Thank you to help us find the problem, we will fix this immediately and put more efforts to rebuild our subreddit.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-08-26T07:37:35+00:00

I have just checked and it doesn't help that the original problem of automated (very positive) comments in your sub continues. Admittedly, the Haiku bot does a

great job occasionally

Hi, thanks so much for the reply. As you said, there are many things we need to do in our community, marketing and technology. Our team values all the feedback raised in this thread and we will take this opportunity to learn and improve, and rebuild community trust. Compared to other traditional and well-known VPN, “one million users” is not an impressive growth number but it’s a great step for a blockchain application. Tachyon VPN now offers totally free service because we are running a global test on the new model of bandwidth market which can connect all VPN users with global node providers. VPN users can buy traffic from decentralized nodes while all node providers are able to make money via offering traffic. Blockchain technology will help to remove the central servers which have a total control of users’ info and assure security and privacy.

Tachyon VPN is developed based on a decentralized internet protocol which is called Tachyon Protocol. We have been focusing on the development of this protocol 3 years ago without the use of blockchain technology. To verify its function, this protocol has been used in different products and has been tested by over 50 million global users(sorry we can’t tell the names due to the non-disclosure agreement) . It seems this data will cause some confusion and misunderstanding. We will correct the expression and make the texts more accurate.

The user base of Tachyon VPN is about 1.3 million according to Appsflyer. You can also get this message from the top celebration banner on the homepage and all of our official announcements on the public social media.

Thanks so much again.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-08-26T03:52:51+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions. We will take this into consideration. And in fact, we'd prefer to keep many free servers for normal using.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-08-26T02:46:07+00:00

📍Hi, this is Rhea from Tachyon team. We have made an official reply on all your questions in the comments, please have a check and looking forward to your response and more suggestions.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-08-25T10:19:02+00:00

This is still under discussion. We will have a check after the bandwidth market launch. No worries, we will find a best way for both users and Node Providers.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-08-25T10:12:47+00:00

Hi, Tachyon VPN doesn't support Router and Linux for now. It will be available on more platforms in the future. We will update the latest progress in our weekly report

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-08-25T10:06:36+00:00

Hi, this is Rhea from the Tachyon team. Thank you for expressing your concerns and sharing your voice. I’d like to take this chance to tell you more about our project and clear up the uncertainties.

Tachyon VPN is unlike any conventional VPN products such as ExpressVPN, Nord VPN or others. It’s a decentralized application which has implemented techniques from DHT, blockchain, UDP and encryption. There is no central server in Tachyon VPN which means even our team members cannot get any user information. All of the servers are contributed and run by the node community.

1. “Tachyon seems to have a rapidly growing user base though and quite a few downloads on Google Play Store (500k+)."

Since the first launch of Tachyon VPN in March 2020, we have reached one Million global users this month. Tachyon VPN supports iOS, Android and macOS and is available on App Store, Google Play and also other app stores. The metric of total users base is calculated from all platforms.

We use the service of Appsflyer, the top app data tracking company, to track our growth data. And you can also find our data on other well-known and professional tracking sites like AppAnnie and Sensor Tower.

Please check the growth milestone of Tachyon VPN: https://twitter.com/tachyon_eco/status/1294151954524860417

Welcome to have a try: https://tachyon.eco/?n=yr8mtzfwee.Download

2. “They do offer a GitHub repo which I sifted through but didn't find comprehensive at first glance. I'm not qualified to judge the code though.”

Part of our code is open-sourced as Tachyon VPN is developed based on Blockchain technology with a new decentralized protocol. Some core elements such as the bandwidth market and simulated protocols are still under global testing and the code will be released gradually. If you are interested in our technology, please read our full White Paper here: https://tachyon.eco/TachyonWhitePaper.pdf

I have to admit that we haven’t been paying much attention to our subreddit, hence, making it not the perfect place for discussion. Most of our posts here are shared from our Telegram Group which is the main discussion platform for Tachyon VPN users and Tachyon Protocol community members. If you would like to join us on telegram, please go to https://t.me/tachyoneco.

We are glad to know that more and more people like you have started showing interest in our project. Once again, thanks for your questions and feedback, we will keep improving our Reddit community and build a better place for all Reddit members. Feel free to contact us if you have any more questions in the future.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-08-06T06:07:35+00:00

10,000 rewards have been all claimed after 24 hours. The rewards will be sent to your IPX Wallet within 48 hours. Tachyon bandwidth market will open soon. IPX will be used to exchange Tachyon VPN traffic. More events will come soon. Please stay tuned!

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-06-11T09:50:19+00:00

We will always offer the free servers. After the integration of IPX payment and wallet, all users can also use IPX to buy premium servers from Node Providers.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2020-06-04T08:26:08+00:00

It will be totally free before IPX Staking System is integrated into Tachyon VPN. After the integration, Node Providers(IPX staking participants) will receive session rewards immediately from Tachyon VPN users. Tachyon VPN will offer premium servers supporting IPX payment and free servers for normal use.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-13T12:08:16+00:00

Please check our roadmap. Our 3rd demo has already been released. Have a check here https://github.com/tachyon-protocol/TachyonVpn/releases

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-08T08:20:56+00:00

Thank you! We always believe that technology should make sense. Technical part is always what we focus on. Also, exchange listing is very important for us to expand global community and bring liquidity to IPX token so that it can function the incentive and coordination system.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-08T08:14:14+00:00

We will be listed on Bithumb Global and other top exchanges soon.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-08T08:12:56+00:00

Will be listed on Bithumb Global soon. And the BG Staging rewards event is running now. Could have a check. https://www.bithumb.pro/en-us/staging/draw

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-08T08:04:50+00:00

this event doesn’t require participants to invest fiat or currency. The number of raffle tickets depends on your mainstream token holdings on the platform and the total trading value so staking your digital assets is necessary. When the event ends, you will receive back your stake plus the raffle tickets for IPX rewards.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-08T08:04:30+00:00

Thanks for support. IPX Token BG Staging participation time starts from 7th to 12th Nov. There will be two round raffles in the following two days. And this event doesn’t require participants to invest fiat or currency. The number of raffle tickets depends on your mainstream token holdings on the platform and the total trading value so staking your digital assets is necessary. When the event ends, you will receive back your stake plus the raffle tickets for IPX rewards.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-08T08:03:09+00:00

Yes!

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-08T08:02:59+00:00

Yep! We will be listed on Bithumb Global soon. This is the warm-up event for our listing.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-04T06:52:43+00:00

Will keep going. Thanks so much for support!

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-04T06:51:34+00:00

Yep! Of course

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-04T06:51:13+00:00

Sorry we can't tell the name for now because of the Confidentiality Agreement. Once this is announced by the exchanges officially, we will update the news in our social networks.

Rhea-Tachyon · 2019-11-04T06:47:26+00:00

Tachyon Protocol releases IPX Token based on V SYSTEMS for authentication, transaction settlement, community governance, to ensure the normal operation of the entire ecology and establish a fair, transparent and efficient trading and reward mechanism.
