Silent Pass offers two solutions for decentralized privacy and security:
Silent Pass VPN: A full-device protection tool that encrypts all internet traffic without requiring manual setup.
Silent Pass Proxy: A targeted privacy solution for pc that allows users to route specific applications through a decentralized network.
Both versions operate on CoNET’s Layer Minus Protocol, ensuring wallet-based communication with no IP tracking, no centralized logs, and true anonymity.
Silent Pass VPN is a complete privacy solution that encrypts all traffic on a device. It requires no manual configurations, providing instant security with one-click connectivity.
Key Features:
Full-device encryption – Protects all network traffic across the operating system.
One-click connection – No need for proxy settings or additional configuration.
Multi-hop routing – Automatically routes traffic through multiple decentralized nodes for added security.
No identifiable IPs or centralized logs – Ensures complete anonymity.
Ideal for mobile users and those needing privacy across all applications.
Setup:
Download and install Silent Pass VPN (currently available for Mac and iOS, with Windows and Android versions coming soon).
Open the app and connect with one click.
The entire device’s internet traffic is now encrypted and decentralized.
Silent Pass Proxy is a PC-only solution that encrypts traffic for specific applications rather than the entire device. Unlike the VPN, the Proxy requires Silent Pass Daemon to function, and users can either manually configure settings or use the browser extension for automatic setup.
Key Features:
Protects selected applications – Unlike a VPN, Silent Pass Proxy does not encrypt all traffic by default.
Runs through Silent Pass Daemon – The daemon is required for proxy operation.
Browser extension for auto-configuration – No need for manual proxy setup when using supported browsers.
Manual proxy settings – Users can configure proxy settings for specific apps as needed.
Setup:
Download and install Silent Pass Daemon – Required to run Silent Pass Proxy.
Choose your configuration method:
For browser-only protection: Install the Silent Pass browser extension (works with Chrome and Chromium-based browsers). This will automatically configure proxy settings.
For manual app selection: Configure proxy settings and specific applications to route them through Silent Pass.
Silent Pass initially launched as a Proxy solution, enabling app-based decentralized privacy before evolving into a full VPN.
Proxy Version (Initial Release):
Allowed early users to experience decentralized privacy.
Required Silent Pass Daemon for operation.
Provided flexibility to choose which applications used Silent Pass.
VPN Version (Recent Release):
Delivers full-device encryption with no need for manual setup.
Eliminates dependency on app-specific configurations.
Supports mobile and desktop platforms for broader accessibility.
✔ Use Silent Pass VPN if you want full-device encryption with a simple one-click setup. ✔ Use Silent Pass Proxy if you have pc and need selective privacy for specific applications and are comfortable with manual proxy configurations.
By offering both solutions, Silent Pass ensures flexibility in decentralized privacy, catering to users who want either full-device security or targeted encrypted routing.
