FAQ

Can I use proxies anonymously without KYC?

There is no version of anonymous that is guaranteed, and skipping identity checks is not automatically privacy done properly. Know your customer checks are how many providers handle fraud prevention and payment compliance. Rather than hunting for whoever asks the fewest questions, look for a published policy on how long data is kept, who owns the company, and how abuse is handled.

A few things hold regardless of who you buy from.

  • Use HTTPS to the destination. A proxy carries your traffic, it does not encrypt it for you.
  • Protect your credentials, and never put them in a URL that lands in shell history or a log.
  • Do not send sensitive information through third party infrastructure.
  • Remember that websites, payment processors and network operators keep their own records even when your provider asks you for nothing.

Worth knowing

Proxies are not a tool for concealing fraud, evading account bans or avoiding law enforcement, and no KYC does not change that. If what you want is everyday personal privacy rather than a business capability, a reputable VPN, encrypted connections and careful account habits will serve you better than any proxy.
