Support Privacy Technology Infrastructure

Join us in championing the future of online privacy and security. Your support will help strengthen vital infrastructure that empowers individuals to navigate the internet freely and safely, ensuring that everyone has access to the information they need without compromising their personal data.

This campaign supports three 501(c)(3) nonprofit infrastructure operators supporting Tor and other privacy networks for the public good: Triplebit, Unredacted, and Emerald Onion.

Unlike many privacy operators, these three organizations own their own server hardware, IP addresses, and network connections. This is a highly expensive undertaking to improve the privacy of their users and the public, requiring extraordinary support from donors like you to operate.

When donating you can select a specific organization, or split your contribution between all three.

TRIPLEBIT:

Founded in 2024, Triplebit (AS 401332) is a nonprofit transit internet service provider (ISP) operating in Minneapolis, MN. Its mission is to protect and uphold the rights to privacy, access to information, anonymity, and free speech.

To further this mission, Triplebit's infrastructure supports the Tor and I2P networks, censorship-resistant VPNs, Monero, the Privacy Guides (privacyguides.org) educational project, and other privacy-related programs.

Triplebit's infrastructure is run out of Minneapolis, MN (US), Kansas City, MO (US), and Warsaw (PL); as well as smaller points-of-presence in other locations.

UNREDACTED:

Founded in 2024, Unredacted (AS 401401) operates FreeSocks, a free VPN specifically designed to bypass censorship using Xray-powered VLESS, as well as a global network of Tor relays

Additionally, Unredacted operates app-specific censorship evasion proxies for Signal and Telegram, and secure free infrastructure like Matrix, Mastodon, XMPP, Blockchain nodes, and other services.

Unredacted's infrastructure is run out of Chicago, IL (US) and Kansas City, MO (US).

EMERALD ONION:

Founded in 2017, Emerald Onion (AS 396507) is a Tor exit server operator, one of the first dedicated privacy networks in the United States to adopt the non-profit ISP model shared by all three of these organizations. They spoke at DEF CON 26 about the creation of their organization and how other potential organizers can start their own exit relay networks from scratch.

Emerald Onion is constantly pushing for improvements in the Tor relay operator space, and is currently fundraising for modern hardware which would allow them to explore the use of Trusted Execution Environments in relay server operations to reduce the trust required by users in relay operators, even themselves.

Emerald Onion's infrastructure is run out of Berlin (DE), Fremont, CA (US), and Seattle, WA (US).
