DPN goes beyond VPN. Per-app routing. Multi-node acceleration. Deeper ad & tracker filtering. Leave it on, forever. Made by Deeper Network. — APP-RELOCATOR: SMART PER-APP ROUTING — Most VPNs route everything through one tunnel. That's why streaming slows down, messaging apps break, and you keep toggling the VPN on and off. DPN's App-Relocator works with popular apps, giving each one its own route: • Local apps run direct — full native speed, no detour • International apps go through accelerated tunnels • Set it once. Leave DPN on. Forever. You never have to choose between speed and privacy. — MULTI-NODE ACCELERATION — Traditional VPNs send all your traffic through a single node. When that node is busy, you slow down — and there's nothing you can do. DPN runs each tunnel through multiple nodes in parallel. If one node gets congested, others pick up the slack instantly. The result: smoother streaming, more stable messaging, and a VPN that doesn't get in your way — even at peak hours on public Wi-Fi. — DEEPER FILTERING ENGINE — Browser ad blockers stop at the browser. Tracker extensions only catch what they're allowed to see. DPN does both — and more — at the network level. DPN's filter engine blocks: • Ads — comprehensive domain rules, network-level • Trackers — cross-app tracking shutdown • Threats — malicious IPs and harmful sites Because filtering happens at the deepest network layer, DPN reaches inside apps where browser blockers can't. One subscription, three protections. — EVERYDAY PROTECTION — Whether you're on hotel Wi-Fi, mobile data, or your home network, DPN keeps your connection private and your apps working as expected. Encrypted, smart, and always-on. — BUILT BY DEEPER NETWORK — DPN is built by Deeper Network — the team behind Deeper Connect, our privacy-focused network device. The same intelligent routing engine that powers our hardware now runs in your phone, fully self-contained. — WHY DPN — • App-Relocator: smart routing for popular apps — local stays direct at native speed • Multi-node acceleration for stability and speed • Deeper filtering: ads, trackers, threats blocked at the network level • Install on any device, with up to 5 connected simultaneously — unlimited bandwidth • Works with Deeper Connect for whole-home protection • One-tap connect, always-on by design — TRY DPN FREE — Start with a 14-day free trial. After the trial, choose: • Monthly Subscription: $3.99 • Yearly Subscription: $37.99 Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
