# Cunicula - The Sovereign Tech Directory

Cunicula is a directory of zero-KYC and privacy-preserving tools. Our core thesis is privacy by default. We catalog off-ramps, VPS providers, VPNs, prepaid cards, communications tools, wallets, and privacy software with clear identity-friction notes.

## Rules of the Directory
- Zero-KYC and light-KYC tools are the core directory. Full-KYC or hostile services only remain when they are useful cautionary/comparison records.
- We do not list any VPNs owned by Kape Technologies (ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, PIA) due to their adware history and ties to Israeli intelligence.
- We penalize high-surveillance jurisdictions, opaque ownership, invasive telemetry, weak disclosure, and compliance drift.

## Covered Countries
Services are mapped targeting the following regions: AR, AU, BR, CA, EU, GH, GLOBAL, IN, KE, LT, MW, MX, NG, NL, SG, TZ, UG, UK, US, ZA, ZM (and Global).
