2) that's a hard question, mainly because if I was using this service I would ask the same thing. Personally, I think a strong mission statement, privacy policy, and maybe a warrant canary would be good enough. At least with a strong privacy statement, I would be legally bound to never sell/peek at your data which is loads better than current ISPs.
I can't do much better than promise I wouldn't.
3) Did the Chicago server fare any better?
Also, thank you for the comments! I really appreciate them.
I think two tiers with a cheaper roaming IP + dynamic DNS plan and a more expensive static IP plan would be smart. But that's for you to decide.
3) Only the Canada server was available when I signed up ~2 weeks ago unfortunately. I'll take a look again.
You might want to sort out the Subspace name and trademark, sooner than later.
Alternatively, their VPSs are dirt cheap. $3.35/month.
How does this work? I thought WireGuard encrypts the traffic?
1) I saw that you're basically using one OVH box per IP. How do you plan to ever monetize this then?
What prevents a user from creating their own VPN instance on their own box and port forwarding from there? Granted this process is somewhat involved, but the kind of user who needs to do this is likely to be somewhat technically inclined anyway. (Some ideas: negotiate long-term deals for IP addresses and try to map > 1 IP per box / remove the static IP guarantee and keep a rotating pool of addresses – public IPs are more valuable than static IPs anyway IMO and you can integrate dynamic DNS into your service)
2) How do I know that you're not sniffing my traffic? Granted that most traffic being encrypted these days is a thing, but still I think it's a genuine concern.
3) I live in Asia, so latency was off-the-charts for me. (On the order of 500ms). But this problem could easily be solved by introducing servers in more locations.
