# Node Operator

dVPN Node operator makes it easy for anyone to contribute to the network without dealing with complex setups. Instead of needing advanced technical skills, users can either run their own node with simple tools or rely on managed nodes provided as a service. These nodes keep internet traffic private, secure, and decentralized, while also helping the network grow stronger and more reliable. This approach lowers the barrier to entry, ensuring that more people can support and benefit from the Qubetics dVPN ecosystem.

## dVPN Node Operator Registration Page

When a user runs the deployment script to set up their dVPN node on the Qubetics ecosystem, the system will ask for some basic details. Once the script has been executed successfully and the node is live, the user will automatically be redirected to the node registration page. On this registration page, they will need to provide the following information to complete the setup and officially register their node within the Qubetics network:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="214.50775146484375">Section </th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Run Script</td><td>Follow the Gitbook link give in step 1 and after running the script follow the step 2 and step 3 mentioned on the left of the registration form.</td></tr><tr><td>Connect Keplr Wallet</td><td>The 2nd step is to connect to the same Keplr wallet that was used when running the node setup script. This ensures the system can validate the user’s identity and confirm that the wallet address matches the deployed node. </td></tr><tr><td>Operator Name</td><td>Users can assign an operator name to their deployed node. This acts as a unique label to easily identify and manage the node. Setting an organization name is optional. </td></tr><tr><td>Email Address</td><td>Users can provide an email address for communication purposes. If entered, Qubetics will use it to share updates about the approval or rejection of the node registration request, or notify if anything goes wrong.</td></tr><tr><td>Node Address</td><td>This is the node address generated after running the setup script. The user must enter this address in the form so it can be validated against the deployed node.</td></tr><tr><td>Request Type</td><td>Choose whether you want to send a request to link your node to the provider’s ecosystem or to unlink an existing node from it.</td></tr><tr><td>Choose Provider</td><td>Users must select one plan provided by the service provider, based on the bandwidth they want to allocate for end users.<br>When choosing a hosting plan, each plan comes with predefined bandwidth and duration. Once you select a plan, these details are automatically applied to your node, so you don’t need to set them manually.</td></tr><tr><td>Submit</td><td><p>Clicking the Submit button sends the registration form to the Qubetics Provider for final review.</p><ul><li>If the details are valid, a success confirmation will be shown.</li><li>If there are errors, the system will highlight the incorrect fields, allowing the user to correct them and resubmit. </li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Note:** To check the rewards earned, a node operator can view them on **TICSScan**. First, select the **“Native Chain”** option, then go to **dVPN → Nodes**. There, the operator can see the revenue generated by their node along with details such as the number of users connected and the amount of bandwidth consumed.\

## Request History

This screen allows the user to see all the requests they have raised so far—both past and ongoing—whether sent to a single provider or multiple providers. These requests are created by the node operator when applying to join a specific service provider’s ecosystem. On this screen, users can view the following details:
