cryptostorm
The VPN service provider for the truly paranoid
Cryptostorm is a VPN service based in Iceland that uses token-based anonymous authentication rather than traditional account credentials. It addresses privacy and security concerns by encrypting internet traffic, protecting against IP leaks, and offering access through obfuscated tunneling options. The service operates a decentralized organizational structure and publishes its server-side configurations for review.
The service supports OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols, with OpenVPN instances using ECC and RSA configurations. Key features include server-side multihop chaining, kill switches, DNS and WebRTC leak protection, DNS-based ad and tracker blocking, and DeepDNS encrypted DNS protection. It offers flexible connection options including SSH, HTTPS, and obfs4 tunneling, with support for any UDP or TCP port. The service also provides direct access to .onion and I2P networks, BitTorrent support, port forwarding, and unlimited bandwidth across bare metal servers.
Cryptostorm is packaged around token-based access, where the number of tokens determines the maximum number of simultaneous device connections. Users can purchase additional tokens for more devices or configure a router to share access. Payment options include credit card, PayPal, CCBill, Monero, and various cryptocurrencies through NOWPayments and BitPay. The service is available on Windows, Mac, iOS, Linux, Android, and routers.
