Privacy & Anti-censorship

Keep a Syncthing peer online 24/7 so your devices sync even when they're never awake together — and let the server store only encrypted data. Tested setup.

Self-host Jitsi Meet for private video calls: what a VPS really handles, the apt install, UDP port 10000, HTTPS and locking rooms against strangers.

Run Headscale on a small VPS and keep your mesh VPN's coordination server under your own control. Install, first user, connecting devices, and the limits.

Run encrypted storage on a VPS with LUKS on a data volume, no-KYC signup and crypto payment. Straight about what encryption on a VPS does and does not protect against — and why a warrant canary matters more than a marketing promise.

Self-host a VLESS + Reality proxy on your own VPS — traffic looks like ordinary HTTPS to a real site, so deep packet inspection in Iran, China and Russia can't fingerprint it. Dedicated IP, crypto payment, no KYC. From $8/mo.

Run your own SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy on a server with a dedicated IP nobody else uses. A fixed exit address you control — for API allowlists, geo-testing, or a private outbound route. Crypto payment, no KYC, from $16/mo.

When WireGuard and OpenVPN get killed by DPI, a self-hosted VLESS + Reality server on your own VPS still gets through. Here's why it works, what it costs, and where it doesn't.

Run your own WireGuard VPN on a server nobody else shares. Your IP, your keys, no logs but yours. Crypto payment, no KYC. From $8/mo, unmetered.

Rent a server with an email address and a stablecoin transfer. No ID, no card, no verification queue. Full root, NVMe, from $3/mo. Honest about what anonymity does and doesn't mean.
