Qubetics Decentralized VPN (dVPN) – FAQs

What is a Provider?

A Provider is the entity (or individual) that offers VPN services within the Qubetics dVPN network.

• The provider registers on the blockchain using a wallet address.

• They define service details such as bandwidth, pricing, subscription duration, and geographical region.

• The provider does not rely on a centralized company — instead, they directly connect users with their infrastructure.

Example: In traditional VPNs, you pay a company like NordVPN. In Qubetics, you pay directly to the provider who registered their node on-chain.

What is a Node Server?

A Node Server is the actual machine (server, VPS, or local system) that runs the dVPN software and relays user traffic.

• It is configured with tools like WireGuard to establish secure tunnels.

• The Qubetics dVPN module ensures that traffic is encrypted, private, and decentralized.

• Each node server connects to the blockchain to report usage, handle payments, and validate subscriptions.

• Providers can run multiple node servers to serve users across different regions.

How is this VPN Decentralized?

Traditional VPNs are centralized, meaning:

• A single company owns all servers.

• They can monitor user traffic or be forced to share data.

Qubetics dVPN is decentralized because:

• Multiple independent providers can join the network by running their own nodes.

• No single authority owns or controls the system.

• All records of providers, subscriptions, and payments are stored on the Qubetics blockchain.

• Users can freely choose providers based on cost, speed, and trust.

The network is censorship-resistant: even if one provider goes offline, others remain available.

How does this Model Generate Revenue?

The Qubetics dVPN ecosystem generates revenue through the following streams:

For Providers

• Providers earn TICS tokens directly from users who subscribe to their plans.

• Revenue is based on the chosen plan, bandwidth provided, uptime, and the number of active subscribers.

Additionally, a small network fee is collected on each transaction, which supports the ongoing operations and maintenance of the Qubetics ecosystem.

This model ensures sustainability by creating a direct link between service quality and provider earnings, while also maintaining the overall health of the network.

Why are we using a Subscription-based Model?

The subscription-based model offers several advantages:

• Predictable Revenue: Providers know how much income they can expect each month.

• User Flexibility: Users can choose from different plans (daily, weekly, monthly) without long-term commitments.

• Simplified Billing: Instead of pay-per-use (complex), users pay once for a defined period.

• Fair Resource Allocation: Subscriptions prevent abuse, as users are limited by the duration and bandwidth of their plan.

• Blockchain Transparency: Each subscription is recorded on-chain, ensuring trustless, auditable agreements between users and providers.
