The Centralized VPN Problem

Traditional VPNs just shift trust:

• VPN provider sees all your traffic

• Single point of failure

• Opaque routing—you trust blindly

• Jurisdiction concerns

You've created a new chokepoint.

Mesh Architecture

Traffic routes peer-to-peer through the Macro network:

• No central VPN company

• No single logging point

• Distributed routing across global nodes

Each node only knows previous hop and next hop. Nobody sees the full path.

Route Verification

Unlike traditional VPNs, you can see your privacy:

• Real-time route visualization - Watch your traffic path

• Health metrics per hop - Monitor connection quality

• Automatic re-routing - If a path degrades, auto-switch

• Transparent node info - See node operators

One line: Private routes with no middleman and you can see it working.

How It Works

1. Your traffic enters the mesh network

2. Routes dynamically through multiple Macro nodes

3. Each node only knows previous and next hop (onion-style)

4. Exits through geographically distributed exit nodes

5. Health monitoring ensures quality

Node Network

Operated by:

• Macro ecosystem participants

• $MACRO stakers earning rewards

• Community node operators

Geographic distribution:

• North America, Europe, Asia, others

• Choose exit location

• Optimized routing for speed and privacy

Performance

Mesh routing is optimized for speed:

• Smart routing algorithms minimize latency

• Health-based node selection

• Automatic failover to faster paths

• Load balancing across nodes

Fast privacy, not slow privacy.

Route Health Monitoring

Live visibility into your connection:

• Green indicator - Healthy route, optimal performance

• Yellow indicator - Route degraded, auto-rerouting in progress

• Red indicator - Connection issue, manual intervention may be needed

Always know your privacy status.

Exit Node Selection

Choose where your traffic appears to come from:

• Auto (best performance)

• Specific country/region

• Nearest to destination (fastest)

• Random (maximum privacy)

Kill Switch

If VPN connection drops, kill switch protects you:

• Blocks all traffic if VPN disconnects

• Prevents IP leaks

• Automatic reconnection attempts

• Configurable per Privacy Profile

DNS Privacy

When VPN is active:

• All DNS queries routed through mesh

• DNS over HTTPS (DoH)

• No DNS leaks

• Query anonymization

Integration with Profiles

VPN settings respect Privacy Profiles:

• Work profile - VPN auto-connects, exit node: home country

• Degen profile - VPN always-on, exit node: random

• Anon profile - VPN forced-on, kill switch enabled, exit node: random

Each profile configures VPN independently.

Bandwidth & Fair Use

Free tier:

• Standard bandwidth allocation

• Access to mesh network

• Basic route selection

$MACRO holders:

• Priority routing

• Higher bandwidth allocation

• Advanced exit node selection

• Reduced latency

Node Operation

Run a Macro VPN node:

• Earn $MACRO rewards

• Support the network

• Stake $MACRO to operate

• Reputation system for quality

Decentralized privacy infrastructure.
