Looking for a truly anonymous VPS? Read this first

We get this question regularly: "Do you offer an anonymous VPS?" The short answer is no, and nobody really does.

There is always a datacenter

At the end of every VPS there is a datacenter and a telecom. They know exactly whose rack that is, and whose network the traffic leaves on. An "anonymous" provider is just one more company between you and them.

The selector is the problem

"No KYC, Tor-only, on-chain payment" is already a filter by itself. Everyone who picks that combination ends up on the same small set of servers. Those servers get watched and scraped much harder than a regular OVH or AWS box, where at least the crowd hides you.

Who protects you, and for how much?

Ask yourself whether an anonymous operator will risk jail to protect you for 10 dollars a month. You are free to believe it. We would not.

This is not 2005

Your car has a registration plate. Your electricity comes from a meter with your name on it. Strategic infrastructure, and the internet is one, is not something you use anonymously.

And if you asked this question on a public forum, you have already left a trace that will stay for decades.

What to do instead

If what you need is privacy for a normal, legal project, pick a provider under a strong privacy law, such as GDPR in the EU. Read who can access your data, and ask for a Data Processing Agreement. That protects you far better than a promise of anonymity.

If you just want a cheap box, get one from a big provider and be a good citizen.
