This seems very interesting and I l love your graphics and marketing but, as an individual, I find this to be very expensive. I pay $36/ year for VPN and have it on all day at work. I see your chart above that vaguely shows how you differ (some of it I disagree with); It's also not clear what the yellow 'i' icon is supposed to represent. Do you have anything that goes into more detail and explains why it would be worth someone paying $20/month for your service?
Edit: I found more info on your site. Looking into it now.
@unseenvision Unlike older VPN technology, we don’t have any fixed infrastructure. When you have static servers, it gives time for adversaries to surveil and hack them.
With Dispel, you’re connecting to randomly generated servers which are constantly being replaced in differing locations, so you don’t create a target profile or form a pattern for someone to observe. We contractually control the infrastructure all the way through, so we know your content is properly destroyed. And because we’re destroying infrastructure, a bad actor can’t burn back through the network to compromise someone’s identity and location.

@eschmertzler@unseenvision I'm unsure what that means. Why would I prefer this over PIA? Is there a tech specification for what you're saying
@bitcoinwhit@unseenvision The difference is protection of data versus metadata. High quality encryption is important. We incorporate excellent encryption (multiple layers of AES-256 with 2048-bit keys) into everything we build so no one can read your online communications, the files you transfer, or the contents of the sites you visit.
But encryption is no longer enough. It’s a game of castles versus cannons. The walls protect the interior, but a bad actor can still observe where people are going, with whom they’re communicating, and where they’re located. And, eventually, someone will find a way through those walls.
That bad third party can accomplish this because, with fixed infrastructure, they have time to locate your servers, test them, and monitor them. By constantly moving elements around the world, and across multiple different cloud providers, we make it significantly harder for an adversary to even begin to identify, let alone attack, our users’ networks.

How does this differ from the many, many other branded VPN solutions that allow you to choose an exit point? Are there deeper, more configurable, and more transparent options that this includes?
@kevinelliott Hi Kevin! Dispel's underlying technology affords far greater protection than a traditional VPN.
Dispel is a proprietary software engine that supplies un-attributable, multi-step, multi-national, cloud-based connections and computers to Dispel users on demand. This infrastructure capitalizes on the scale, flexibility, speed, and power of global cloud computing resources to create anonymity for its users.
Activation of the product is straightforward. With a single click, Dispel users can immediately protect their metadata and location, encrypt and anonymize their communications and file transfers, and sandbox their computing.
This system could not have existed until a few years ago. Key to its success is the integration of multiple, isolated, rapidly changing and non-repeating elements. This framework, coupled with the manner in which it is implemented, prevents assailants from ‘burning back’ the route through which a signal is sent. Moreover, the high turnover rate and non-repeating nature of elements assigned to users presents a randomly moving target for opponents attempting surveillance or a breach.
Thanks for hunting Dispel, @kwdinc!
Hi everyone, I’m Ethan Schmertzler, the CEO of Dispel. Online privacy is important in the age of data breaches, IP thefts, intrusive tracking by advertisers and government surveillance. We made Dispel to help users reclaim their privacy. Our service uses a combination of software, multiple cloud services and layered encryption that goes beyond other tools out there (see our comparative grid in the Media section). Happy to answer any questions here or you can get in touch with me on Twitter (@eschmertzler).

Dispel gives you powerful tools to protect yourself and your company from eavesdropping, hackers, and corporate espionage. Comprehensive data, identity, and location protection across all your online devices.
@chiancheng
We protect content, identity, and location by integrating multiple, constantly changing, elements.
The key to our technology is ephemeral infrastructure. Dispel’s transmission pathways are engineered so assailants cannot burn them back, and all of the elements assigned to users are turned over quickly enough not to become static targets for surveillance or breach. When a user is done with a sandboxed computer, its files and infrastructure are destroyed.

Why not just use tails instead of paying 70/month?
How is this different from a VPN?
@haseeb During the past two years, we built Dispel to protect the privacy of the communications, data, and infrastructure of two major institutional clients. Industry experts have tested the system’s integrity, and it is now running at those institutions, and for others.
Our technology is being used by enterprise customers who understand that just encryption data still leaves where their employees are located and who they’re working with exposed to monitoring and exploitation.
For example, let’s say a major client communicates with a company’s senior leadership. That leadership then immediately contacts key stakeholders and a litigator at their outside counsel. While all of the communications there could be encrypted, until Dispel, the fact that those individuals were speaking with one another in that order was not. And that’s valuable information.
@ourielohayon Invisible Connections are supported on Mac OS X and Windows, with iOS and Android coming very soon. Invisible Computers work in Chrome and Firefox, with no software required.
