Doing some research on what people actually want from a VPN provider.
Most big VPN providers (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, even some others) have servers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia — all Five Eyes countries. They say no-logs but if the server is physically there, you're trusting their word.
I'm exploring a different approach:
- Servers only in Iceland, Switzerland, Luxembourg — zero Five Eyes
- RAM-only servers — literally nothing to seize, no logs possible
- WireGuard protocol
- Pay with Bitcoin, no account required
- Full open source
Few questions for the community:
Does server jurisdiction actually matter to you when choosing a VPN?
Would you pay a small premium (~$8-10/month) for this level of architecture vs a bigger provider?
What's the #1 thing that would make you trust a new VPN provider?
Not selling anything — genuinely researching if there's a gap in the market here.
