No-KYC VPN, hosting, eSIM and gift cards: the facts side by side
published 2026-10-13
The services below can be paid for without identity checks; what separates them is where they operate, what they cost and what they publish about themselves. Every value comes from the service’s own site or public data on 13 October 2026; where we could not find a fact after checking its pages, the cell says «not stated». Each name links to our review, where every value carries its source link and date.
VPN: where they operate and what they cost
| Service | Jurisdiction | Server countries | Protocols | Price from | Independent audit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mullvad | Sweden | 50 | WireGuard | €5 / month | Assured Security Consultants; Leviathan Security Group (2026) |
| IVPN | Gibraltar | 42 | WireGuard, OpenVPN | $2 / week · $6 / month | Cure53, yearly |
| AirVPN | Italy | 23 | OpenVPN, WireGuard | €2 / 3 days · €7 / month | not stated |
| Xeovo | Finland | 27 | WireGuard, OpenVPN | €4.99 / month | not stated |
| Obscura VPN | United States (New York law) | not stated | WireGuard, two hops | $8 / month | not stated |
A jurisdiction tells you which courts can order a service to act; it is not a privacy guarantee on its own. A published audit shows what an outside firm checked and when — read its scope before relying on it.
Hosting: locations and policies
| Service | Jurisdiction | Locations | Price from | Content and abuse policy, in their words |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTCVPS | not stated | Netherlands, Lithuania | €6 / month | not stated |
| Ko-Net | not stated | Stockholm, Sweden | $10 / month | illegal use under the server country’s law is not allowed; copyrighted content and free speech are listed as fine |
| MyNymBox | Nevis | Amsterdam, Finland | €4 / month | reports, including «DMCA notices», are treated as allegations, not court orders |
| PrivateAlps | Swiss-owned (registration not stated) | Zurich, Frankfurt and more | €12.90 / month | no CSAM, illegal drug or weapon sales, terrorism or spam |
| Silent Node | Estonia | 15 countries | $7.50 / month | not stated |
For hosting, the server location decides which law applies to the data on it; the company’s seat decides who receives the paperwork. Read the acceptable-use policy before you deploy anything a third party might complain about.
Phone numbers and eSIM
| Service | What you get | Countries | Price from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silent.link | eSIM with mobile data (the recommended plan has no voice or SMS) | 160+ | $9 one-off |
| MoneroSMS | virtual SMS number, send and receive | not stated | $3.60 / month |
| Narayana | virtual numbers; physical SIM cards and eSIMs | 50+ for virtual numbers | not stated |
A virtual number may be refused by services that require a mobile number for verification; a data-only eSIM gives you internet access, not a number to receive codes.
Gift and prepaid cards
| Service | Range | Cards |
|---|---|---|
| Stealths | set per brand, e.g. Amazon $10–$2,000 | 391 gift-card brands |
| XMRVCC | prepaid Visa and Mastercard $20–$500 | about 50 gift cards, plus prepaid cards |
Neither service states its fee on the pages we checked; compare the price you pay with the face value of the card before you order.
How to read this table
«Not stated» is information too. It means the service does not publish the fact on the pages we read, not that the answer is bad. Ask before you pay if it matters to you.
Prices change. Each value carries the date we checked it; we re-check these facts every quarter.
Paying with Monero keeps the purchase off your bank statement; all of the services above accept it. Our reviews also show whether a service needs an email at sign-up and whether it has an onion address.
