Interested in VPS (not VPN) providers that are privacy focused and, despite some research online, have no good candidates. Objectives include: setting up VPN through VPS service (greater customization/involvement vs. just VPN services), reducing online activity linked to identity (re browsing, downloads, and payment mechanisms). Considered criteria as follows:
-no business operations within 5-eye nations. privacy-talk from domestic providers seem ridiculous in light of the legal climate permitting authorities to direct rampage through the data/facilities
-torrenting friendly. I suspect that even legal torrent traffic is flagged through some providers. Deter patent/copyright-trolls.
-no identifying information necessary to setup account (at minimum spoof-friendly) – i.e. IDs or credit cards
-bitcoin accepted as payment
-other factors might include IP mixing (perhaps along with static IPs)
It is a shame EFF doesn’t appear to offer more resources/scrutiny than the link below. Seems like it might be worthwhile to offer a reward fund for experts to evaluate VPS providers based on the above criteria? Anyone have any recommendations re providers or resources for their evaluation?
