About

Anonymous VPN - account ID only, no email, accepts XMR/BTC. No logs, independently audited, multi-hop. Open source. (Zero KYC)

Analysis

OVERVIEW

Account creation issues an ID with no email, payment can be made in Monero or Bitcoin, and the no-logging claims carry a Cure53 audit trail rather than only a policy page.

LIMITS

Incorporation in Gibraltar, a British overseas territory, sits closer to UK legal process than a non-aligned jurisdiction. Paying by card or PayPal attaches a name to the account the signup flow kept clean.

USEFUL FOR

Audited multi-hop VPN use where the whole identity surface, signup and payment included, needs to stay empty.
