B Why grade B?

Solid pick. Verified working but with a meaningful caveat (UX rough, smaller market, intermediate trust step, partial coverage). Listed because the trade-off is sometimes worth it.

Review

Solid no-logs reputation. Free tier is generous but limited to a few locations + slower. Paid plans get a no-KYC path if you pay in BTC and use a throwaway email (ProtonMail anonymous signup is free).
