Its main domain moved from kyun.host to kyun.sh in January 2026, and the old domain redirects. Accounts use a random account code and a password, similar to a VPN account number, and the official API creates an account with only a password and a proof-of-work answer, so no email or phone is needed; contact details are optional. Payment is by Monero deposit to an account balance, or by card through Stripe for those who link one. The privacy policy lists what is stored: a hashed password, any contact details you add, service configuration and IP history, and transaction records. It says customer information is not disclosed unless required by law or approved by the customer, and the operator publishes a signed warrant canary. No ID requirement appears in the terms, privacy policy, acceptable use policy or FAQ. No company name or address is published. The site needs JavaScript, and its docs live in a public repository on the operator's own Git server. ## What the terms say about ID No identity requirement appears anywhere in the terms of service, privacy policy, acceptable use policy, Before You Buy page or FAQ.
