Concept

Improves internet experience, protects online privacy and outperforms any traditional VPN.

Story

 

“At Deeper, we believe private and secure access to an uncensored internet is a fundamental human right; therefore, we want to get Deeper Connect Mini into as many people’s hands as possible. Our business model is through the sales of hardware and enterprise licensing. 

As a special thank you to early supporters, we are offering Indiegogo backers a lifetime subscription-free service to access the VPN feature. For all others, there will be a fee to use the VPN service.

Since the Deeper network is a truly decentralized network, every node can choose to act both as a client and a server. The fee structure will be peer-to-peer, and is needed to incentivize those that share their bandwidth to act in good faith and provide great service for all others on the network.”

 

Plug-N-Play and Zero Configuration

 

The design concept of Deeper Connect is plug-and-play with zero-configuration. The installation process is so simple even grandparents can do it in 5 seconds. In place of an ethernet cable, users only need to plug-in two ends of network cables into Deeper Connect to have access to a free, secure and private Internet. No settings or configurations of any kind are needed.

                                      

In our Decentralized Private Network (DPN), each device serves as both client and server and their IP address will be automatically changed based on their routing rules. Deeper Connect Mini can establish up to 16 tunnels to other nodes all over the world. By default, they will be established in the US, Europe, Singapore, and China.

 

Consider Alice (Germany) who wants to access US Netflix. Her device will automatically borrow Bob’s residential IP address (US) to avoid being geoblocked. At the same time, Tom’s device in China will be borrowing Alice’s IP address (Germany) to access YouTube. This of course is a huge and dynamic network composed of thousands of Alices, Bobs, and Toms, which allows every user to browse the internet without restrictions and bypassing firewalls and censorship, all automatically done by Deeper technology.

 

 

Comparing with traditional VPN,  DPN has following advantages:

  • No centralized servers. Thus network cannot be taken down.
  • Users have control over their own data. By default, they are encrypted and secured.
  • Democratic Internet that empowers and protects users’ privacy.
  • Censorship resistant.
  • High speed Internet connection without bottlenecks.

                                       

Smart routing refers to the automatic configuration of network routing based on data stream characteristics, and whether to transmit through a tunnel. Under this system, the IP address will be changed based on the user routing rules and tunnels will be established to the US, EU, SG and CN by default. Nonetheless, users will have the option to define their own smart routes based on the content they want to access.

If a user wants, for example, to access Youku while in the USA, the Deeper Connect Mini unit will automatically create a smart route through China. However, the user has the option to define a smart route through India (for whatever reason). Conversely, if a user in China desires to access Netflix, a smart route will be established automatically through the USA, but he/she has the option to define a smart route through Canada instead (perhaps because of his subscription or preference of regional show availability).

                                       

Deeper Connect Mini is a smart secure gateway. It requires minimal user intervention. There is no need for users to be aware of its existence, and little configuration is required to change its functions. All this while running AtomOS, a lock-free operating system with a 7 layer traffic scanning. Its interface allows you to visualize all the online activities in your own network.

                                       

Deeper Connect can protect all your IoT devices, by adding a secure gateway between your home and the external Internet, protecting all your home devices such as PCs, smartphones and security cameras from online threats. Our product has been designed by top-level network security and distributed systems experts based in Silicon Valley. The company’s core technical team are veterans from Google, Palo Alto Networks, VMware and other technology companies.

                                      

Say goodbye and keep track of all those annoying ads. Having the functionality of the famous Linux application Pi-hole, Deeper Connect is capable of blocking website ads.

Deeper Connect’s powerful network security features can deeply filter user network traffic and effectively block web trackers and viruses.

 

Users will be able to view how many trackers have been blocked by Deeper Connect Mini. Normally These trackers follow, record, store, and repackage your internet history and then sell it to third-parties. Every time you browse, someone else is taking note. The more they know about you the easier it is for these companies to trigger certain reactions with ads or any other content for purchasing or other purposes. Deeper Connect protects you from these trackers.

                                       

We know you care about the well-being of your kids, and you want to make sure they are not exposed to adult or violent content when they are on the internet. 

Aligning with your values and in concordance with our fair and transparent internet vision, we offer simple and effective parental control, by which a single click from you will enable/disable a filter for pornography and violent content websites. 

                                      

Deeper Connect dashboard allows you to visualize in real-time the multi-tunneling capabilities of our device. You will see a pictorial representation of all the tunnels that have been either automatically set by the system or chosen by you (remember that you can establish up to 16 tunnels worldwide).

Deeper Connect also has a seven-layer traffic scanning function that allows you to visualize real-time traffic usage. Whenever there are programs running and using network data, the flow usage will be reflected in the flow page of the device management interface.

                       

                                     

We do not own any centralized servers as every Deeper Connect Mini is in essence a server and a client. All these devices distribute around the world to communicate and share bandwidth with each other.

Every user can set a limit to the amount of bandwidth he/she wants to share with other users. One advantage is that users can receive credits for sharing their bandwidth to later exchange them for Deeper Network services, which include monthly software updates. This form of sharing economy has the advantage to benefit the users who contribute to the sharing, without the need of a middle man mediating the transactions or charging fees. 

 

 

Deeper Connect Mini is a hybrid device combining different technologies, but under the hood it is also a remarkable and powerful computer.

 

As part of its hardware, it sports a powerful Intel 4 Cores processor and a 2048MB memory to maximize its throughput. We are talking about a Layer 7 next-generation firewall with a throughput of 1Gbps. Currently, there are no other devices with this level of performance at this price level in the market. This enables Deeper Connect Mini to provide all your home devices protection and encryption, with breathtaking speeds.

 

 

High Speed Connection

 

Unlike most VPNs, Deeper Connect Mini will not slow down your internet speed. This is possible thanks to a series of achievements which include its lock-free operating system (AtomOS), its Trident protocol (a decentralized shared communication protocol), and its IP Multiplexing Technology. 

Easy To Setup

 

Enterprise-Class Security:

 

Particularly attractive are Deeper’s enterprise-class security features. Deeper Connect makes use of the network security operating system AtomOS, with a lock-free design. The device is capable of achieving the level and performance of enterprise-class products at a very low cost. Products of similar specifications, such as a Palo Alto Network device, may cost more than $10,000 USD. Currently, Deeper Network is targeting the network security market for the general public.

 

 

Home Scenes

With Deeper Connect Mini we envision our users being able to access any website at any time within the comfort of their home, without worrying about being banned by an ISP. Users’ home network will have 360° security protection, including all IoT devices.

 

 

Travel Scenes

For those that need to travel abroad and may find restrictions accessing the content they need or need to have a secure browning experience when connecting to unsecured WiFi networks in airports, cafes, or other public spaces, we have ideated a solution for them. These users will have the option to download AtomOS, our operating system which will allow them to connect remotely to their own Deeper Connect Mini. They can then use their laptops to connect any other terminal devices, like cellphones, tablets, etc., creating a private and secure umbrella for all of them, having also the benefits of a Decentralized Private Network. This is the perfect portable device you can use at your hotel room just connecting to an internet outlet.

 

 

We understand that there are several solutions out there offering privacy and security online. Nonetheless, it is important to differentiate ourselves from these other services. 

We have been compared with Firewalla, the Winston, even a Raspberry configured as a pi-hole + Tor (smile). Our solution is much more ambitious and innovative.

First, we offer cybersecurity at an enterprise level, Deeper Connect integrates seven layers of security functions, something that has never been available to the general public. 

Part of our developing team had leadership positions at Palo Alto Network and Fortinet, the biggest cybersecurity companies in the world. Since the beginning, they had the vision to offer a device with a high level of security and protection.

Secondly, our device is also a truly Decentralized Private Network, we are offering a technology superior to any current VPN.

Finally, none of those devices offer a sharing economy or the option to exchange bandwidth with other users. We are a few significant steps ahead of other products in the market. 

 

Deeper Connect Mini represents the accumulated knowledge of almost three years of active development. As a matter of fact, Deeper Connect Mini is our 4th generation device. We have learned a lot in this journey, and this effort is reflected in the quality of our product: a much more compact and aesthetic design, and in its improved privacy and security functions.

We envision the Deeper Network project back in 2018 Q2. By 2019 Q1, we had already a Beta release of AtomOS, the world’s first lock-free network security operating system. And during the next quarter (Q2 of 2019) we had already completed our home hardware security gateway fully equipped with AtomOS. In 2019 Q3 our 3rd generation device went officially on sale. It is now that we are ready to offer the public our 4th generation device, Deeper Connect Mini.

 

 

                                                     

 

 

 

Deeper Network is a cybersecurity company based in Silicon Valley. The company has designed and developed Deeper Connect, an innovative software and hardware solution combining network security, blockchain technology, and a sharing economy.
