+# Acquiring remote servers anonymously (non-KYC providers)

+
+## **Finding out a non-KYC Cloud Provider and Email Provider**
+
+As we discussed [previously](../finances/index.md), KYC is out of the question if you want to remain anonymous. So you need to find **a cloud provider that allows you to rent servers without any KYC**.
+
+To find one you can go on [kycnot.me](https://kycnot.me/?t=service&q=hosting):
+
+![](1.png)
+
+the current one I use for my services is ServersGuru, as they can resell popular cloud providers like hetzner.
+
+In our example below we'll use Cockbox. but first thing we need is a non-KYC email provider, to do so we could follow [Privacy Guides' recommendation](https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/) and create an account on Tuta, but for simplicity i'll use a temporary email from <https://tmail.link> (do not use it for extended usage)
+

+
+Now that the account is created, we can also validate if we can receive mails:
+
+## **Purchasing the server anonymously (using Monero)**
+
+![](12.png) ![](5.png) ![](6.png)
+
+Next we generate a SSH key to connect to the server:
+    
+    
+    [ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/5 ] [~]
+    → ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C ""
+    Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.
+    Enter file in which to save the key (/home/nihilist/.ssh/id_ed25519): /home/nihilist/.ssh/ssh-key-test
+    /home/nihilist/.ssh/ssh-key-test already exists.
+    Overwrite (y/n)? y
+    Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
+    Enter same passphrase again:
+    Your identification has been saved in /home/nihilist/.ssh/ssh-key-test
+    Your public key has been saved in /home/nihilist/.ssh/ssh-key-test.pub
+    The key fingerprint is:
+    SHA256:hu1aO2qMU0XuaRDTRiVHH3Jl2hNP/0prlAnpPCTGECo
+    The key's randomart image is:
+    +--[ED25519 256]--+
+    |       o=+= o.+ .|
+    |      o.+= + * +.|
+    |    E .*  + * o o|
+    |     ..oo. = . +.|
+    |      .+S.  + = .|
+    |      .o+    + o |
+    |     + .o     +  |
+    |    o oo..   .   |
+    |     oo...       |
+    +----[SHA256]-----+
+    
+    [ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/5 ] [~]
+    → cat .ssh/ssh-key-test.pub
+    ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIHqt0O2ZbRt/7ikk0PdPRcb1GRBE5YNDdBHFCMGIdeHb
+    
+

+
+validate the VPS purchase with the Monero option:
+
+![](8.png) ![](9.png)
+
+Then here we send the Monero payment:
+
+![](10.png) ![](11.png)
+
+then wait 10-20 minutes for the payment to be validated by the network, and then you should recieve the mail with your server accesses:
+
+![](13.png)
+
+Now that the server is provisionned, we can connect to it:
+
+## **Accessing the server anonymously (SSH through Tor)**
+
+To access the server anonymously, you just need to ssh there through tor using torsocks:
+    
+    
+    [ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/6 ] [~]
+    → cat .ssh/config| head -n4
+    Host test-server
+            User root
+            hostname 185.216.68.156
+            IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
+    
+    [ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/6 ] [~]
+    → torsocks ssh test-server
+    The authenticity of host '185.216.68.156 (185.216.68.156)' can't be established.
+    ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:Od5FT4wcALDHXXK2B4t6lM8idsDmUfhqWpDFjStgBwI.
+    This key is not known by any other names.
+    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
+    Warning: Permanently added '185.216.68.156' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
+    Linux cockbox 6.1.0-13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.55-1 (2023-09-29) x86_64

+    
+
+And that's it! We now have access to a remote server, we acquired it anonymously, and are now using it anonymously as well.
