Sizing
What we know about you, and what we don’t.
The complete list, in plain words. The Privacy Policy has the legal version.
| Data | Collected? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Yes | Your login, invoices and service notices |
| Name, postal address, phone | No | Not needed to run a server |
| ID documents | No | We do not do KYC |
| Card or bank details | No | We only accept cryptocurrency |
| Payment transactions | Yes | Invoices and refunds; on-chain data is public by nature, Monero hides amounts and addresses |
| Contents of your server | No | We never access it unless you ask us to, or a competent authority legally compels us |
| Your server’s traffic | Volumes only | DDoS detection watches traffic volumes and packet rates, never content |
| Website visits | 30 days | Web server logs with IP addresses, for security; no analytics or ad cookies |
Quick start
A WireGuard server in two minutes.
On Debian 13: install WireGuard, generate keys, enable forwarding and NAT, then add your laptop as a peer. Replace the two placeholders.
apt install -y wireguard nftables
umask 077
wg genkey | tee /etc/wireguard/server.key | wg pubkey > /etc/wireguard/server.pub
echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" > /etc/sysctl.d/99-wg.conf && sysctl --system
cat > /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf <<EOF
[Interface]
Address = 10.8.0.1/24
ListenPort = 51820
PrivateKey = $(cat /etc/wireguard/server.key)
PostUp = nft add table ip wg; nft add chain ip wg nat '{ type nat hook postrouting priority 100; }'; nft add rule ip wg nat oifname "<public-interface>" masquerade

FAQ
Privacy & VPN: questions, answered.
Still have a question? Customers with an active server get answers from engineers in a support ticket.
Support ticketsCan I run a commercial VPN service?
Yes. You are responsible for your users and must answer the abuse reports we forward about traffic from your servers.
Can I run a Tor relay?
Non-exit relays and bridges are welcome. Exit relays need our prior written approval and a reduced exit policy, and you handle the complaints they attract.
Do you log what I do?
We do not inspect or log the content of your traffic, and we never access your server unless you ask. Our DDoS systems look at traffic volumes and packet rates only.
What happens if you receive a legal request?
We only act on valid orders from competent authorities, and we notify you when we are legally allowed to. We can only hand over what we hold: essentially your email address, billing records and service data.
Which location is the most private?
It depends on who you need protection from. Switzerland has strong data-protection law and sits outside the EU, but no location is beyond the law. Pick the jurisdiction that fits your threat model.
