# Introduction

Traditional VPN services come with significant drawbacks that can compromise user security. They rely on outdated Web 2.0 economic models, forcing users to disclose sensitive bank card information. These services also struggle in highly censored regions, where VPN traffic can be detected and blocked. Additionally, they require users to register with an email and password, increasing the risk of data breaches.

**DeGuard VPN is different.** 

We've developed the largest Web3-based VPN, offering unmatched anonymity and security. Our approach allows users to sign up and pay for VPN services using a Web3 wallet, eliminating the need for personal data. With [DeGuard](https://app.deguard.io/), there’s no traditional registration — just connect your wallet and you’re ready to go. Your subscription is stored as an NFT, giving you full ownership and control.

Our [Telegram App](https://t.me/DeGuardVPN_bot) further enhances your experience. You can browse the internet securely from anywhere, earn $DF points by using the VPN, inviting friends, and completing challenges, and enjoy the freedom of a truly decentralized, private browsing experience.

DeGuard VPN is more than just a service — it's a new standard for online privacy.
