5 sats \ 2 replies \ @ACYK 31 Aug \ on: We launched a no-account VPN: key only, crypto only, and no Lightning yet privacy

What are you offering that Obscura doesn't? With Obscura I can already have a no account vpn (just a randomly created account number and no other info). Plus, I can already pay for Obscura with lightning.

Two other aspects of Obscura that I like, that I'd be curious to see how you compare:

  • Obscura's two party relay architecture. Unlike most vpns, Obscura can't link your payment to your traffic. Your Wireguard packets are end-to-end encrypted to Mullvad's servers, but sent to Obscura. So Obscura's servers never see your actual traffic and the exit hop (currently Mullvad) never knows anything about you (even your random account number, or how you paid).
  • Obscura wraps the first hop in QUIC-based obfuscation that makes VPN traffic look like ordinary HTTP/3 web browsing, which helps bypass censorship and DPI-based VPN blocking.

Obscura now allows 5 simulations device connections per account (up from 3). How does yours compare here ?

Another circle back as I see your post says 5 devices. Missed that on my first read. So one question answered already.

Wanted to circle back to add, the more options the better. Just curious how they compare. Thanks for adding more options to the market.
