Obscura VPN review
Obscura VPN assigns you a randomized account number, eliminating the need for a name, email, or phone number. Your traffic benefits from end-to-end encryption to a blind relay, ensuring Obscura cannot read its contents. The service states it does not store your IP address. The app's source code is available on GitHub. Payment options include credit card, Lightning, or Monero, with servers accessible in 33+ countries. However, card subscriptions are processed through Stripe, which requires collecting your card details and an email address. In our view, Obscura VPN suits users who choose to pay with Lightning or Monero.
ID rule not stated
Obscura VPN's own pages do not give one answer on when it asks for ID.

How we read the terms
We do not give privacy services a score. We record what each provider's own pages say: when it asks for ID, the limits, who holds your coins and what it costs. Labels come from each provider's terms, never from our guess. How we read the terms
Our process
We take fees, availability, licenses and coin counts from primary sources: Obscura VPN's own fee schedules, terms and help pages, and the public registers kept by regulators. Every value carries the date we last checked it. The values on this page were checked on October 22, 2026.

Rules differ by country and change often. Check the rules where you live, or ask a qualified professional, before you use any service listed here.
