DPN frequently asked questions

DPN is a privacy-oriented app by Deeper Network: app-aware smart routing, selectable tunnels, and network-level ad and tracker filtering.

DPN is a decentralized network: traffic travels through real residential IPs instead of company servers. Plus app-aware routing — different apps can use different countries at the same time.

Yes. DPN: Beyond VPN is developed and published by Deeper Network. It is a software product, separate from Deeper Connect hardware.

No. App Relocator assigns different routes to supported apps and is only available in Smart Route. Full Route sends apps through one route, while Direct Route keeps ordinary traffic direct.

Yes. Smart Route keeps selected country tunnels available and applies app-aware rules across them. Available nodes and limits depend on the current service configuration.

No. DPN runs as a regular app and does not require Deeper Connect hardware — these are two different products with different deployment models.

The tunnel runs through a Network Extension separately from the app interface: iOS can close the interface without disconnecting the active tunnel. To disconnect, open DPN and tap Disconnect, or close the app from the App Switcher.

DNS/IP filtering blocks requests to configured domains across supported traffic. HTTPS filtering coverage depends on the certificate and platform — on Android it works in web browsers only.

DNS/IP filtering applies domain and IP rules before a connection is made. HTTPS filtering inspects encrypted traffic and requires the Deeper Network root certificate to be installed.

A decentralized network has no central server where user logs could be collected or stored — eliminating the risk of a data leak from a company breach.
