Dont want to self promote, just looking for some feedback on a vpn im building and the thoughts and reasoning behind why i'm doing certain things.

Token instead of account username/password (pretty self explanatory) No 3rd party processor for XMR payments and running my own node Shared exits with 2 locations ( no obvious correlation between 1 user = 1 ip) Wireguard Only for smaller attack surface Endpoint flushing when a handshake is over 10 mins old on wg interface so the user's IP doesnt even live in RAM .onion mirror available which I encourge you to use

I explain other stuff mostly on the FAQ, i encourge everybody to read it please!

i was definitely planning to put up a section on the website about certain server-side configurations, however the backend is not meant to be open source. It runs with wireguard so theres not much configuration anyways, wireguard is by default not logging any data + as i mentioned i have a script that runs every 5 minutes checking for inactive handhakes, flushing the endpoint after 10 minutes of inactivity removing the endpoint from memory aswell, never gets on the disk anyways, never lives inside the .conf either its all done by a script.
