AriaVPN is a raw, OpenVPN-based service, a start-up with 4 locations so far, allowing to connect up to 4 devices. We don't have any fancy apps yet set aside, it's a VPN like any other. The job of a VPN provider is to deliver a reliable service & connection, a box of chocolate, and a kiss don't come with it. If you'd like to try our service, you can access our site via a Tor exit node and go for the daily plan, you can underpay that and get a 2-hour plan for as little as 2 cents. You can read our marketing narrative to find out what you may want to know and read our policies to see if our service is right for you. We're well aware that a no-logs policy is impossible to prove for anyone and that accredited audits only give a snapshot at one particular point in time. With that in mind, we went the extra mile to ensure our client's privacy by implementing a zero-knowledge architecture and open data transparency. This means we don't collect any personal data and that every client has the option to download and examine a full copy of the data we collect so our website can deliver its functions and service. We also allow for deleting payment data and plan data as a whole, and we allow for port forwarding. We use small to medium-sized hosting providers and ISPs that we carefully select and negotiate exemptions to their terms of service if applicable. We do this to ensure continuous service and to know that they are not in the business of logging traffic. Whoever trusts a well-established VPN service, also trusts big hosting/ISP players most VPN providers use. Consider if a provider that has, for example, a 120k volume of monthly organic traffic and needs to make in excess of 260k+ monthly sales @ $5 per month to begin to cover their basic operating cost is trustworthy and whether there's a hidden agenda.

As for you, you seem harboring the impression that I should be somehow gaining your trust. I'm not here to sell. I leave that to others. I developed the service from A-Z, and came by with an offer to see if I might pique some interest and perhaps have a friendly chat, which isn't possible when a narcissist shows up. Every other sentence you spawn is an attack on my integrity and the integrity of our business (FYI we're not a company), and dissing us for not conforming with your worldview, and the rest is aiming at making yourself look good by pretending to be nice. The likes of you are dangerous and need to be exposed, and if that might lose me a customer or two I will not lose sleep over it. Your unsolicited advice isn't feedback only a twisted idea of how we should be running our business or shouldn't, misleading the audience with your almost-knowledge. For example, Cloudflare doesn't block Tor traffic. They provide their clients with the option to do so. Small yet rudimentary distinction. I won't bother with addressing the excess of baseless assumptions and attacks, just because a princess feels betrayed by a genuine ad and disrespects the endless work of others in the sorry process. So as for Kuno, I encourage you to stop crying and run an instance yourself if you possibly can, the more the merrier.

Yes and no, and I'm tired of hearing Mullvad from Monero folks. They just have a different pricing strategy, which is only cheaper for shorter-term plans. The prices you see at AriaVPN are for new customers, but there are discount coupons available up to 30%, our loyal customers get up to 30% discounts on plan extensions, and we already match Mullvad on long-term price plans without discounts. If you only had any idea how much they pay for servers vs what's their organic traffic, at the top of which they claim to pay for targeted advertising, it might make you question how can they possibly make a profit, and whether there's a hidden business model. At least I do, and I don't like what I see.

First of all, AriaVPN is a brand of Anne Media and when we became host to Kuno, it was pre-agreed that instead of asking for donations that'd cover the cost of hosting and additional development, we'll simply add our ad for our VPN service so we can reach out to the community. We don't run external ads. Secondly, the script you see and block facilitates automated translations, which we added on request. So thank you for your assessment.
