The need for secure remote access solutions has increased in today's digital era. About two-thirds of businesses have had their data stolen because employees work from home. Four out of five companies have seen more email scams since people started working remotely. Almost 70% of businesses think they'll face more cyber problems because so many people work from home now.

The Internet has come a long way since its invention, and activities on the Internet have become an important part of our daily lives. However, the traditional approach to Internet hosting has remained centralized and the entire technology industry is concerned about the power of data concentrated in the hands of the leading tech companies, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Therefore, in the last few years, the decentralization process has become a new trend offering improved security from cybercrimes, privacy, and availability of online services. So, is decentralized Internet the future?
