Cypher VPN is the second thing we made. The first was Cypher eSIM - mobile data in 180+ countries without handing over a passport. The same question produced both: why does buying connectivity require proving who you are?
Selling eSIMs taught us something we didn't expect. People weren't asking for anonymity to hide anything dramatic. They were journalists on assignment, contractors paid in crypto, people living under governments that read what their citizens read, and travellers who simply resented that a SIM card needed a passport scan.
They kept asking the same follow-up: the data is anonymous now, but what about the traffic running over it? Every VPN we could point them to wanted an email address and a card. So the recommendation always ended with a shrug.
Cypher VPN is that missing half. Same checkout, same coins, same absence of a signup form.
You pay in crypto. Your browser generates a login and password out of random characters - we never see them being made and we never store them. That pair is the whole account. There is no email field because there is no email, no password reset because there is nobody to prove you are you, and no card on file because nothing renews on its own.
Three exits: Netherlands, Romania, Finland - all in countries with no blanket data-retention mandate, and each physically located where its flag says.
No traffic. No DNS queries. No browsing history. No IP addresses. No connection timestamps. We keep the order itself - plan, amount, expiry - because we need to know when your access ends. That is the complete list, and the privacy page spells out the two honest exceptions rather than burying them.
This is also why the site loads no third-party analytics, no pixels and no third-party fonts. We do count pages - on our own server, with your address hashed under a key we throw away every day - because running a business blind is not a privacy feature. What we refuse is handing visitors to anyone else: tracking people who came to buy privacy would be an argument against the product.
Two pages do the heavy lifting: one shows where competitors beat us, the other gets you connected.
Cypher VPN against Mullvad, Proton, IVPN and the mainstream names - including the rows where we lose. Mullvad has audits we don't. We say so in the table.
Read the comparison ›iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux and routers. Scan a QR or paste a subscription link - there is no app of ours to install.
Open the guides ›No VPN makes anyone "100% anonymous", and any company that says otherwise is selling something. A VPN moves trust: away from your internet provider, onto us. Our answer is to hold as little as possible, so that trusting us costs you as little as possible.
Two more limits worth stating plainly. We are new, and trust compounds with years that we have not had yet - if a long audit history is your requirement, buy Mullvad, and we mean that. And a tunnel does nothing about a compromised device or an account you log into under your real name.
Fail to connect within 24 hours of paying, and support can't fix it, we refund in full in the coin you paid - no forms, no questions. That guarantee replaced the free trial: we would rather refund a stranger than run a free tier that only teaches people to make new keys.
Support lives in Telegram and a human answers, usually in under five minutes.
No email, no card, no name on the order.
