# Decentralized Routing: CoNET DePIN and The Guardian Nodes ## The Problem: VPNs Are Still Centralized Services \ Traditional VPNs rely on centralized infrastructure, meaning that if the VPN provider is compromised, acquired, or shut down, all users lose access. ### The Silent Pass Solution: A Fully Decentralized Network \ Silent Pass relies on CoNET DePIN and Guardian Nodes, which are distributed globally and ensure that the network remains fast, secure, and censorship-resistant. 🔹 How It Works: ✔ 20,000+ Guardian Supernodes form the backbone of the network. ✔ Multiple routing paths available to ensure high-speed connections. ✔ No centralized control – All network participants maintain privacy. \ 💡 Example: Instead of one company managing all servers, Silent Pass operates like a decentralized blockchain, where multiple nodes voluntarily maintain the network. 🚀 The result? A VPN that cannot be shut down, censored, or compromised. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
