No-KYC VPNs outside the 14-Eyes alliance

5 no-KYC VPNs are based outside the 14-Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance. IVPN scores highest. Jurisdiction decides who can legally compel a provider. Basing outside the 5/9/14-Eyes arrangements reduces that pressure — though a service that holds no data is protected regardless.

Outside 14-Eyes — questions

Does jurisdiction matter if a VPN keeps no logs?

Less than you might think. If there are no logs and no account identity, a legal request has nothing to return no matter the country — as Mullvad’s 2023 raid showed. Jurisdiction is a secondary safeguard, not the primary one.
