What is bulletproof hosting, and is OnionVPS one?
Bulletproof hosting is a provider that claims to ignore all abuse complaints and law enforcement, including for criminal activity. OnionVPS is not one. We hold no identity data and we do not act on speculative complaints — but we do not host malware command-and-control, phishing or child sexual abuse material, and we answer valid legal process.
The distinction matters practically as well as ethically. Bulletproof providers' address space is blocklisted wholesale, which means mail from it is rejected, API calls from it are challenged, and users see CAPTCHAs everywhere. The service you bought stops working.
What most people asking for "bulletproof" actually want is a provider that will not terminate them over one automated complaint, and that does not hold their identity. That is what anonymous hosting on a clean network provides.
