They look trustable (no email, payment in monero, no tracking) but they're incorporated in Italy which is one of the stupidest countries in the world for this purpose

Have you ever wondered why usually VPN companies are based in countries like Cyprus, Panama, virgin islands or Labuan?

Yeah that's a good point haha tax havens for the W I guess. On another note, I think Proton VPN is also a good alternative since they're based in Swiss, where data protection laws are mega strict.

Proton has given user data to the FBI and French authorities.
