# Private RPC Gateway & Web3 VPN

### **Private RPC Gateway & Web3 VPN**

#### **Overview**

The **Private RPC Gateway** functions as an **encrypted, decentralized VPN and proxy layer** that anonymizes all Solana RPC and dApp interactions.\
It provides the foundation for zkShine’s “**Privacy Mode**” allowing wallets, explorers, and applications to connect to Solana **without ever revealing user metadata or connection details**.

#### **Core Features**

* **Decentralized VPN Layer**\
  Routes RPC requests through multiple zkShine VPN nodes, randomizing network paths and eliminating single points of observation.
* **Header & Metadata Scrubbing**\
  Automatically removes all identifying HTTP headers and fingerprints before forwarding requests to Solana RPC endpoints.
* **Native Solana Compatibility**\
  Works with standard RPC calls (`getBalance`, `sendTransaction`, etc.) and all Solana SDKs.
* **Privacy Mode for Wallets**\
  Enables wallet integrations (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare) to toggle “Private RPC” seamlessly for enhanced anonymity.
