You can use https://satoshivpn.com if you want to be anonymous. You get access to your own private server, and user registration is not even possible.

no team disclosed, no ownership information, no real privacy policy, no real terms of service, no info on infrastructure and provider partners, promises "complete privacy" and "anonymity" (as if attainable, especially with no traffic mixing and BTC payments)...

don't trust services that promise things they can't deliver and you cannot vet properly.

The list of countries they offer endpoints in are not encouraging.

I can choose between 800 and 1200ms of latency, lucky me.

Private server? So all of your traffic comes from the same ip? That defeats the purpose of the VPN.

The use cases for a single IP not associated with your person are numerous: avoidance of ISP retribution for your use of certain network connections (ie torrenting), avoidance of direct targeted attack, avoidance of geofencing, avoidance of censorship by IP location, as a few examples. All the better if the private static IP can be changed on demand and adjusted for location.

Does the IP on the instance change on a regular interval? Or do you have to request it? I use VPNs to protect against tracking. If the IP is mostly static then using it as a defense against tracking is useless.

From the linked page listed as a yes in the features list.
