Hi all. I trade crypto and I'm building a VPN aimed at traders. Nothing is built yet beyond a landing page, and I'd rather get torn apart here before I write the apps.
What it is meant to do:
- WireGuard tunnel for logging into exchanges on Wi-Fi you don't control
- DNS filter that blocks KNOWN phishing domains from public blocklists (it will not stop you signing a malicious transaction, so use your wallet's transaction preview for that)
- Optional dedicated IP that is single-tenant, never shared, in your own country. Useful for exchange API key IP allowlists and consistent logins. Trade-off: a fixed IP makes your sessions easier to link, so it's a security feature, not an anonymity one.
- Kill switch, and a service designed not to keep activity logs
What it is NOT: a way around exchange country restrictions. Most exchanges ban that, and it's how accounts get frozen.
Trust plan before anyone pays: open-source clients, a named team, and an independent check of the no-logs claim. No audit exists yet and I won't claim one until it's done and published.
Planned founding price: $5/mo, dedicated IP +$3/mo.
Questions for you:
1. Would you ever route exchange logins through a brand-new VPN? What would it take?
2. Is the dedicated IP worth paying extra for, or do you just use your home IP?
3. What would you want in the open-source release to trust it?
