Key Statistics and Media Insights on the VPN Market
This page provides an overview of what the media reports in terms of interesting statistics and research on the global VPN market, allowing users to better understand the industry's highlights and challenges.
Why do people use a VPN? source: forbes.com
According to 2024 research by Forbes, personal security remains the primary reason people use VPNs, with 66% aiming to protect their personal data and 80% seeking increased security.
Surprisingly, only 6% of VPN users use VPNs to protect their employer's data, indicating a much stronger incentive for VPN providers and users to prioritize personal and private needs over corporate needs.
D-Network is 100% committed to user security and anonymity; our documentation describes which features are included and how we outperform our competitors by offering a more secure service to users.

Virtual Private Networks have clearly proven to be a lucrative business, with current market estimates ranging from $55 to $60 billion for the previous fiscal year 2023 total.
Growth is rapidly accelerating, driven by privacy and security concerns, as well as an ever-increasing global internet user base; projections suggest the market will reach $350 billion by 2032.
D-Network has created a third VPN market segment that challenges the current corporate and free business models by providing higher quality, greater anonymity, and rewarding all stakeholders.
By incorporating VPN into an internet-service business model and focusing on what a user truly needs, we have built a stakeholder-driven ecosystem capable of rapidly scaling to millions of anonymous users.

When it comes to private consumers, roughly half of all global users currently use a free VPN, while paid VPN users are split 50/50 between having their employer pay for VPN costs and paying privately.
Most experts advise against 1-2 year commitments due to the volatility of the VPN market, to compare carefully, and to keep in mind that higher prices do not always result in better security or performance.
D-Network is completely free while providing far superior quality than other VPN providers, and our revenue model ensures a fair financial distribution to users, node providers, and investors.

Millions of free VPN user records are constantly leaked, with the most notable example being the 25 million users of GeckoVPN, SuperVPN, and ChatVPN whose data was sold on the dark web in 2022.
Corporate VPNs such as PureVPN or NordVPN are also responsible for turning on their customers, with many being caught lying about their no-logging policies or ending up in court providing access to user data.
D-Network offers truly 100% anonymous registration. No names, emails, records, or corporate office; everything is fully decentralized.

The first promise any VPN provider makes to its users is anonymous browsing, which makes it even more shocking that research has shown that almost all identities can be verified when researching data.
CNET discovered that 99.98% of people could be traced in any anonymized data set with just 15 points. Dots can be connected to expose a user who is simply using a seemingly harmless internet connection.
To address this alarming issue, D-Network proudly introduces the Safe Fingerprint Extension, our groundbreaking solution that improves privacy and safeguards our user ecosystem. As part of our safety features, Safe Fingerprint allows our users to easily hide their fingerprint metadata, ensuring complete privacy and anonymity, clearly surpassing 99.98% of VPN providers.

In a rapidly growing market worth billions of dollars, media reports constantly warn consumers that an increasing number of large corporate organizations are failing to meet the standards that users need.
Malwarebytes for instance has repeatedly demonstrated it has severe VPN limitations by default, and in 2023, cybersecurity researchers discovered 360 million compromised SuperVPN user records.
VPN is essentially a technically complex solution designed to protect internet users from harm. To avoid false advertising, we strongly advise customers to do their own research and compare VPN providers.
At D-Network, we provide documentation that is user-friendly, clear, and free of legal jargon. We offer a high-quality service funded by advertisements, and our profits are shared with our stakeholders.
