RPCh vs VPN / Proxy
Unlike proxies or VPNs, RPCh is the only solution that provides actual privacy for your wallet.
VPN/Proxy vs RPCh Alpha
VPNs/Proxies are centralized solutions with limited privacy offerings when compared to even a feature incomplete version of RPCh: RPCh Alpha.

VPN/Proxy
- Centralized – have to trust the VPN/Proxy provider not to harvest or abuse your data
- Data is easily distinguishable to an observer
- Only one intermediary making it easy for an observer or the server (RPC provider) to link it to the client
- Usually static, with even dynamic VPNs/Proxies being very limited in their range and rotation rate
RPCh Alpha
- Decentralized with layered encryption – only you can correlate your IP address to your request/response; no other intermediary or entity
- Data is segmented and formatted into standardized Sphinx packets making them indistinguishable to an observer
- Data is routed through an entry/exit node instead of a single proxy
- Dynamic routing with each individual request receiving a different combination of entry/exit nodes; imagine a VPN/Proxy that changed more than ten times a second
VPNs/Proxies vs feature complete RPCh
A more feature-complete version of RPCh provides privacy and security in metrics that VPNs/Proxies don’t address at all.
