Introduction
by Sentinel Independent News
dVPN Node Manager (also known by its Linux command line name, dvpn-node-manager), developed by Sentinel validator and development contributor Foxinodes in collaboration with the Sentinel Growth DAO, has a new alpha release.
The script simplifies and automates the setup and maintenance of Sentinel Nodes—the community-hosted network of servers that keep Sentinel's peer-to-peer bandwidth marketplace alive. It was originally created to manage Raspberry Pi-based Sentinel Nodes, but has since been extended to work on Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions.
As Foxinodes put it in April:
This tool is a direct response to the technical challenges that individuals wishing to participate in the Sentinel Network might encounter without the need for advanced computing skills. It offers users a valuable opportunity not only to enhance Internet security and privacy but also to participate in an innovative decentralized ecosystem, while generating passive income.
