One of the things I like about Mullvad is that I can buy a voucher on Amazon, and use that to pay for the service with a high degree of anonymity. Is/will something like that be possible with Uruky?
"Just put your cash and payment token (randomly generated on our website) in an envelope and send it to us. We accept the following currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, SEK, NOK, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD."
This way, your customers still get the source code and can use it freely, but you don't have to worry about competition. By the time anyone could use it to compete with you, they would be using an ancient version of your software. The BUSL (Business Source License) by MariaDB is a battle-tested license designed for exactly this use case.
Nice so EU-based company with API available for my agent to use. Right now I am using lightpanda but this my be simpler. I will check it out. Thanks.
I'm just not seeing the connect here I understand you are trying to fight spam/abuse but seems like a tough uphill battle especially when VPNs solve the privacy issue entirely.
I'm also not sure why this obsession with EU is so prevalent and misguided. EU is privacy regulated, not a guarantee of privacy. GDPR is better than what many places have, but hosting in UE doesn’t magically mean the data is safe, it doesnt mean 0 knowledge encryption, no insider access, no breaches, no subpoenas, no natsec carveouts, or uniformly enforced across borders.

Yeah Mullvad that accept cash in the post are not a serious VPN provider at all, right.
You seem to not understand that a search engine and a VPN don't have the same audience, and certainly not the same needs for focus. It's ok, we all have our flaws.

Well Mullvad stopped providing port forwarding, which is necessary for good torrent support (especially if you use public torrents and you need ones that aren't seeded a lot). They also stopped supporting openvpn which I need. Wireguard only now. It's not enshittification in terms of ads etc but it is reduction of possibilities because they already make enough money on the people using the main features. But anyway I…
mullvad stopped providing port forwarding due to the abuse and the effects a single-digit percent of their users was having on the other 90+% of users. not because they "already make enough money on the people using the main features" or "enshittification". its kind of like the opposite of enshittification, actually, seeing how it made the service better for the majority of their users.
One example: They could have done port forwarding just on UDP. Which would still have allowed torrents (the main usecase for port forwarding) but blocked any kind of webhosting via VPN.
But for me the service got distinctly shittier so for me I think this term qualifies.

What's the reason you need OpenVPN?
This router is in front of my 'arrrrr' subnet at home, where all my leeching servers live. This way sidechannel attacks don't work because they have no alternative path to the internet.
It's a nice setup and I have no wish to change it or to buy other hardware.
Okay, so in order to do a test search, I have to: 1) type in a query and hit enter because there's no search button. 2) click signup, even though I want to evaluate it before creating an account. 3) apparently now I'm signed up without having to enter any details - what's the point? Just create a new session as soon as I initiate the search. 4) so now I need to return to the homepage to trigger another search. 5) sea…
1) type in a query and hit enter
2) solve the captcha
3) search results!

I’m not aware of this, can you clarify? Technically anyone can top up an account on Uruky and give it away to someone else.
Like so, hopefully the link works for you: https://amzn.eu/d/00yFWx41 The card arrives with a little lottery-ticket style scratchpad with I believe a 16 digit activation code underneath.
