The VPN Promise That Breaks Under Pressure
A centralized VPN may protect you on paper, but it still relies on trust in one provider. In contrast, a decentralized VPN removes the single point of failure entirely, giving you structural privacy that can’t be undone by a breach or subpoena.
Centralized VPNs were built on trust. You pay a provider, they route your traffic, and you hope their “no logs” policy means what it says. The problem? They still can track you. Even if they promise not to, the technical ability to log your activity remains — and that’s all it takes to put your privacy at risk.
The Single Point of Failure in Centralized VPNs
In a centralized VPN, all traffic flows through infrastructure owned by one company. This means:
-
One database breach can expose your IP history
-
One subpoena can legally compel data retention
-
One policy change can flip from “no logs” to “some logs” overnight
Your privacy is only as strong as that company’s integrity, security, and legal jurisdiction.
Real-World Proof That Centralization Fails
-
2020 – A major VPN provider claiming “no logs” leaked millions of user records due to unsecured servers.
-
2017 – Another provider handed over logs to the FBI despite promising zero tracking.
-
Ongoing – Many providers are owned by companies in countries with invasive data laws, creating hidden legal risks.
These cases aren’t rare — they’re the inevitable outcome of placing all your traffic in one set of hands.
Why “No Logs” Isn’t Enough
“No logs” often means:
-
No activity logs… except connection logs (timestamps, IPs)
-
Data is anonymized… but could be re-identified
-
Audited once… years ago
A central server still sees your originating IP and your destination. Even if deleted later, that data exists long enough to be vulnerable.
How a Decentralized VPN Removes the Risk
A decentralized VPN eliminates that central weakness:
-
Traffic is split across independent nodes — no one sees the whole picture
-
No central company owns the network
-
Logging is impossible by design, not just by policy
Why VALT’s Decentralized VPN Is Different
VALT combines this trustless architecture with:
-
Quantum-resistant encryption for future-proof protection
-
Private data timeline to track and manage your digital footprint
-
One-click data removal to erase personal details from broker databases
You’re in control—not your VPN provider. Stop trusting. Start controlling.
