Privacy & no-KYC
How do I host a website anonymously?
Combine four things: a no-KYC host paid in Monero, a domain registered with privacy protection or an anonymous registrar, a CDN or reverse proxy so the origin IP is never public, and administration only over Tor or a VPN. Removing any one of these usually undoes the other three.
Origin leaks are the most common failure. Historical DNS records, TLS certificate transparency logs, mail headers, error pages and misconfigured subdomains all expose origin IPs routinely — often years after the fact. Assume the origin will be found unless you actively prevent it.
The second most common failure is administrative. Logging into the panel from home, reusing an SSH key that appears in a public repository, or registering the domain with real details all create links that no amount of hosting choice can remove.
- No-KYC host, paid in Monero
- Registrar that accepts crypto and offers privacy protection
- Reverse proxy in front; never publish the origin address
- Fresh SSH keys, used nowhere else
- Administer only over Tor or a VPN
- Strip metadata from anything you publish
