The Index
Tools, services and references we found useful enough to keep. Curated, not exhaustive, and nothing here is for sale.
VPN
-
mullvad.net (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
Our default VPN. Keep the account number in a password manager, turn on Lockdown mode, and log out and back in before switching to a server that should be unlinked from your last session.
Limitations
No port forwarding, and no OpenVPN since late 2025. Many sites and streaming services block its IPs. Cash and crypto payments can’t be refunded.

ivpn.net (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
The spare VPN that’s good enough to be a main. The Standard plan ($6 a month, $60 a year) is enough for most people, and the $2 week is a cheap test. Refunds within 30 days include crypto.
Limitations
Smaller network (89 servers in 42 countries), no port forwarding, and no kill switch listed for iOS. Its add-on services need an email address. RAM-only servers are still a pilot.

protonvpn.com (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
The free VPN to give someone who can’t pay privately yet. Keep it off a real-name Proton Mail account, but Proton’s terms ban multiple free accounts, so one of the two should be paid.
Limitations
Needs a Proton account and may ask for email or SMS verification. No Monero. The free plan is one device with no country choice and no P2P, and free accounts can be deleted after 12 months unused.

Browsers
-
torproject.org (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
The baseline for visiting onion services and for research you don’t want tied to your own connection.
Limitations
Slow for heavy pages, and many sites block or challenge Tor exit nodes.

Messaging
-
getsession.org (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
For staying unlinkable from people who shouldn’t learn who you are. Back up the Recovery Password before anything else.
Limitations
The current protocol has no forward secrecy (the next version is meant to add it, with no date). Calls reveal your IP to the other person and to a Session server. A restore loses messages older than 14 days. It nearly shut down for lack of money in 2026 and now runs on donations.

threema.com (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
The polished no-number messenger. On Android, buy it through the Threema Shop with cash or Bitcoin, then turn on Threema Safe and set an ID revocation password.
Limitations
Paid separately on each platform, and the iPhone version can only be bought through the App Store. One-to-one calls reveal your IP unless you turn on Always relay calls, and group calls send every member’s IP to Threema’s media servers. Linking the desktop beta switches off forward secrecy for your chats.

addy.io (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
Put it in front of whichever inbox you use. Shared-domain aliases for anything persona-related, and never press Spam on a forwarded email. A custom domain makes the aliases portable.
Limitations
The free plan forwards only 10 MB a month (mail over that bounces) and can’t reply. Some sites block alias domains. Server logs with IP addresses are kept for three days. Run by one developer.

proton.me (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
A good default inbox if you sign up over Tor or a VPN, leave the recovery email empty, set a recovery phrase and pay with Bitcoin or cash. Write subject lines as if they were public, because to Proton they are.
Limitations
Proton can see sender, recipient, subject line and timestamps. No IMAP on the free plan. One free account per person, and free accounts can be deleted after 12 months unused. It complied with 8,313 Swiss legal orders in 2025.

tuta.com (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
The inbox for a compartment that shouldn’t share a company with Proton. If you sign up over Tor or a VPN, you may wait a working day for manual approval.
Limitations
No IMAP, SMTP or PGP. Free accounts are deleted after six months without a login, and you’re allowed one. German courts can order live monitoring of an account’s unencrypted mail.

silent.link (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
Save the order URL in a password manager: it’s the whole account. Keep the number in a separate handset and renew its lease every year.
Limitations
No voice calls and no outgoing SMS. Only US numbers on sale as of October 2026. No terms, privacy policy or named operator. The mobile network still sees the handset and where it is.

Passwords & Encryption
-
keepassxc.org (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
One database per identity. Turn on backup before saving, stop it remembering recent databases and key files, and keep TOTP secrets in a separate database.
Limitations
No built-in sync and no official mobile app (third-party KeePass apps fill the gap). Browser integration is the riskiest part. Version 2.8.0, in beta as of October 2026, fixes five low-to-moderate bugs in the 2.7 line.

veracrypt.jp (opens in a new tab)
Why it’s here
The tool for portable encrypted storage. Verify the PGP signature, tick Never Save History, and on a Mac use the macFUSE build until the FUSE-T bug is fixed.
Limitations
Not for cloud-synced folders. System encryption is Windows only. No protection against tampering, and hidden volumes are fragile in practice. Maintained by essentially one developer.
