nobody
can read.
Encrypted on your device, sent over Tor, paid for in Monero. We never know who you are. We never see what you store.
Three steps.
1
Encrypt locally
Restic encrypts every file on your device before it touches the network. The keys never leave you. We hold ciphertext, nothing more — we couldn’t read it if you begged us to.
2
Send through Tor
All traffic to and from us routes through Tor. We never learn your IP. You never need to learn ours.
3
Pay anonymously
Monero only. Top up a balance; it burns down by the second; refill when you need to. No subscription, no commit. Your client certificate (mTLS, X.509) is your account — lose it and there is no recovery.
What we never see.
- Your name.
- Your email.
- Your IP address.
- Your device or location.
- The contents of your files.
- The names of your files.
No analytics, no third-party scripts on this page. Clients are open source with reproducible builds — you can audit the encryption yourself. Your cert is your account; there is no password reset, no recovery, no backdoor.
