Network Anonymization

When it comes to securing your online privacy and freedom, both TOR and VPNs are powerful tools, each with unique strengths. TOR (The Onion Router) excels in anonymity by routing your traffic through a network of volunteer-operated nodes, layering multiple encryptions to conceal your identity and location. This makes TOR ideal for those needing maximum privacy and for bypassing censorship in restrictive environments. On the other hand, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides robust encryption and masks your IP address, securing your data from hackers and ISPs, while allowing you to access geo-restricted content and secure your connection on public Wi-Fi.

We're enhancing our security offerings by not only integrating traditional VPN solutions but also exploring partnerships with decentralized VPN providers. Decentralized VPNs distribute the network across multiple nodes, removing single points of failure and boosting privacy even further. By combining the extensive anonymity of TOR with the versatile protection of VPNs, including cutting-edge decentralized options, we aim to deliver an unmatched level of security and freedom in your online activities. Whether you need to safeguard sensitive transactions, bypass regional restrictions, or maintain anonymity, our integrated approach ensures your digital presence remains secure and resilient.

More precisely we looking forward to integrate SSL VPN. An SSL VPN (Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network) is a type of VPN that leverages the SSL/TLS protocol to provide secure, encrypted access to network resources over the internet. Unlike traditional VPNs, which require specialized software, an SSL VPN allows users to connect via a standard web browser, making it more flexible and accessible. This type of VPN is particularly beneficial for remote access, as it ensures data confidentiality and integrity by encrypting the communication between the user and the corporate network. SSL VPNs can support both client-based and clientless configurations, with the latter requiring no additional software installation. These features make SSL VPNs ideal for organizations that need to provide secure remote access to employees, partners, or clients, while minimizing configuration complexity. Furthermore, they offer robust protection against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks, ensuring a high level of security for sensitive information shared online.

With this added flexibility, we’re committed to offering you a truly customizable and enhanced privacy experience. Stay protected with solutions you can trust, all in one place.

Common de-anonymization attacks on Tor exploit vulnerabilities in the network's structure and user behavior to unmask identities. Traffic correlation attacks are one of the most common, where an adversary monitors both entry and exit nodes, correlating the traffic patterns to identify users. Malicious exit nodes can also be used to tamper with or monitor unencrypted traffic, potentially revealing user identities or sensitive information. Website fingerprinting allows attackers to analyze the size, timing, and direction of data packets to guess which sites users are visiting, even if encrypted. Sybil attacks involve an attacker controlling a large number of fake Tor nodes to observe and manipulate traffic. Finally, timing attacks exploit the time correlation between a user’s entry traffic and the corresponding exit traffic to deanonymize them. These attacks highlight Tor's vulnerabilities when used alone, especially against well-resourced adversaries. The vast majority of theses attacks require the malicious actor to either control specific nodes of circuit, or all of them. In order to counter them, Synk is looking forward to deploy it's own network of nodes. This will give us the ability to ensure a better TOR performance for the user as well as guarateeing that no malicious attack can be conducted on the traffic issued from Synk workspaces.
