Fully Decentralized Mesh Network Created by You

2 min read

The Internet was originally designed to connect endpoint devices. Faction brings that back, but secure, scalable and controlled by end users not centralized servers.


We Don’t Trust the Cloud. Ever. #

The Faction Owner – and NOBODY else – creates and controls keys that encrypt both your Faction Network and the data that is transmitted over it.

  • No certificate Authorities
  • No User Data or Metadata
  • No Credentials
  • No Keys or Decrypted Data in the Clouds
  • Nothing to sell on the Dark Web
  • No one with visibility or access but you

Nobody – Including Us – Can See or Access Your Faction Network #

When you use a VPN service, it can see all of your networking connects as well as browsing activity on the internet. You just have to trust the company, their infrastructure, staff and their ability to repel foreign and domestic governments, hackers and bad actors. With Faction, our company, infrastructure and staff cannot see or access your Factin Network.   We cannot be the source of breach by hack, coercion, insider attack or any other means.

Cloud Scalability and Robustness without Cloud Vulnerabilities #

While we don’t trust the Cloud, we do know that is the best technology ever created for robust, scalable, always-on services. Faction’s proprietary routers give our mesh network all of these capabilities while preserving the decentralized architecture that ensures your privacy and security.


Privacy Baked In #

Forget about ‘Privacy Polices.’ Privacy is designed and built into the Faction protocol and platform architecture. We cannot see or access your Faction networks or any of the communications, data, metadata or activities that they transport.


Faction Puts You in Control #

Faction can’t fix everything. But it can give you back a sphere of security and privacy for your networking, devices and data that is controlled always and only by you and the people that your authorize.

Private and Secure #

Faction Networks are encrypted and completely invisible and inaccessible on the Internet.

Easy #

Set up in minutes, use the Internet and applications as you always do.

Controlled by You #

Only YOU create and control the keys for your Faction Network, Groups, Devices and Members.


Try Faction for Free #

Don’t take our word for it. You can try and use Faction at no cost right now to start protecting the privacy and security of your networking, communications and data.
