The idea of someone snooping our web history and data is creepy. Every website we visit and what we do on the websites should stay private and to ourselves. A lot of us use “incognito” or private browsing mode that keeps other people from snooping on us.
A sad truth is that, however, someone still is collecting and storing our website visits and activities on their database. They are called your Internet Service Providers (ISPs). What’s an ISP? It’s a company that provides Internet(or wifi) to your house or devices so you can access the Internet whenever you want.
A 2021 report from the FTC (US Federal Trade Commission, oversees businesses to protect consumers) revealed that 6 biggest ISPs in the US were gathering, storing, and selling these Internet data.
You might be wondering how ISPs track your information even when you use private browsing mode. The answer is simple. ISPs are the gateways between your device and the Internet. Whenever you try to visit a website, your device sends a request to the ISP, which then connects you to the website you want to go to.
Fortunately, website security technology has advanced immensely in the last few decades. As long as the url says “https://” instead of “http://” you don’t have to worry about ISP collecting what you do on the website. A website with “https” URL encrypts all the data using TLS encryption. What you do on the website goes into a safe box that only you can open. When the data box travels through the ISP gateway, ISP will have no idea what’s in the box.
ISP can still view all the websites we visit, and what if the website starts with “http” instead of “https?” Don’t worry, there are many ways to solve this problem.
Your objective is to make it impossible for an ISP to track what website you’re visiting or what you do on the less-secure “http” websites. You have 3 different ways to avoid your Internet data going through the ISP “gateway.”
• Pass your data through a network of people to avoid direct contact with the Gateway
• Create a secret tunnel under the Gateway to connect with the web
• Go pass the gateway and connect to another gateway that masks yourself
Let’s examine and compare the three ways.
Passing your data through a network of people
This is the old-school way of masking your identity around the web. Your data travels through so many people, it’s hard to assume what data truly belongs to you. It’s hard for other people to snoop and track what you’re doing on the web. The problem is that your data is written on a scroll that everyone can just open and read it. Where’s that safe box that only we can open? Let’s see if the next method has a safe box. For reference, this is how the onion router(TOR) works. If you’re interested in this old-school method, this article summarizes it well.
Creating a secret tunnel
This is another old-school way to avoid being tracked by your ISPs and other creeps. Your data travels through a secret tunnel and through a safe box. It’s extra safe and extra secure. You just have to crawl under the tunnel which makes your Internet experience slower than usual. You can definitely pay to make the tunnel big so it doesn’t slow down. There’s another catch, however, that tunnel has two ends. You need to be able to go in and get out to the place you want. This tunnel isn’t really compatible with the modern-day website that uses “https://” You might end up not being able to visit the website you wanted. It requires a lot of money to maintain the functionality of this tunnel. The well-maintained tunnels, however, charge $13.99+ a month for access fees. There should be a better way that’s less slow and effective. Will the last method be our problem solver? For reference, this is how the traditional VPN using OpenVPN protocol (technology) works. If you’re interested in this old-school method, there are more than 1000 VPNs you can select from.
Passing the gateway and Masking yourself
Introducing the latest technology we’ve been waiting for so long. You first pass through the ISP before you use the Internet. Now you mask yourself as a different person using the fresh new gateway. You still have a safe box only you can open, but this time no one knows this box belongs to you. The best part is that this gateway is blind and can not see or record what’s passing through. It’s like whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but this time it doesn’t even stay. This is how DEEP SAND Black VPN works. It uses the latest technology (masking gateway) that’s compatible with modern-day websites, so less maintenance is required. This is why the entrance fee for the gateway is only $2.99 compared to the secret tunnel VPNs. Because you only have to pass a gateway instead of a whole tunnel, it’s also naturally faster. With DEEP SAND Black, you can avoid creeps tracking you on the web, without sacrificing the speed.
Although DEEP SAND Black protects you from creepy trackers and ISPs, you can do much more with DEEP SAND Black’s VPN technology. Remember the masking gate? It lets you mask yourself as a different person.
Let’s say you want to use a streaming service that’s only available in country A, when you are in country B. You mask yourself as you’re in country A, and start using the service freely. Of course, you can do this with the old-school VPNs by using their secret tunnel. These VPNs just need to spend ridiculous money on maintaining the connection of the tunnel and different websites you want.
You can do so much more with the Internet through DEEP SAND Black. Protect yourself from getting tracked, access websites that are blocked for whatever reasons, and access worldwide services not yet available in your country. Unleash your superpower.
