Dont want to self promote, just looking for some feedback on a vpn im building and the thoughts and reasoning behind why i'm doing certain things.

Token instead of account username/password (pretty self explanatory) No 3rd party processor for XMR payments and running my own node Shared exits with 2 locations ( no obvious correlation between 1 user = 1 ip) Wireguard Only for smaller attack surface Endpoint flushing when a handshake is over 10 mins old on wg interface so the user's IP doesnt even live in RAM .onion mirror available which I encourge you to use

I explain other stuff mostly on the FAQ, i encourge everybody to read it please!

xmr is by default private. you buy any coins via a CEX where u are kycd, use a non custodial exchange to get monero and from that point on its not traced back to you when you initiate a payment to somebody.
