IncogNet LLC is proud to share it's first LowEndTalk offer AND giveaway!

Here are the services we currently offer:

  • Luxembourg based Shared Hosting. We're using CloudLinux, DirectAdmin, and Softaculous. Not only is this a rock solid service for general, everyday use type of shared hosting, we let you publish content direct to the 'regular internet' as well as mirror that same content to the Tor and/or the I2P anonymity networks if you wish! Our goal is to push normal, regular, 'every day content' to networks that respect your privacy. This feature is optional and is setup manually, but those who opt in will receive a native .onion address and/or I2P address. (v3 onion, I2P b32 + .i2p upon request). For sites requiring the most privacy, please consider using a VPS and setting up your hidden service or I2P eepsite yourself. We'll have guides posted soon!

  • Ad, tracker, malware, and other "bullshit" blocking VPN service! We maintain our own blocklists and DNS cluster to offer an excellent barebones VPN service with an anycast DNS over Tor setup. Locations: Las Vegas, USA - New York, USA - Roost, Luxembourg - Kiev, Ukraine - Helsinki, Finland. We have plans for additional locations but think these five are a good starting point. This is a barebones service. You receive a OpenVPN configuration file (.ovpn) and we encourage you to use OpenVPN's official software/apps to connect. We have no in-house VPN app or software because we can't do it better than the official software from those who manage the protocol. WireGuard support coming soon, and will be at no extra cost.

  • AMD Ryzen KVM Virtual Servers in Helsinki, Finland! The people want Ryzen, and the people want privacy. We combine both with our Finnish based KVM servers. We currently have very limited VPS capacity due to small initial deployment with Hetzner. New stock will be added as interest is gauged. Additional service locations coming soon, including Moldova (Intel based) and Luxembourg. We are currently renting/leasing hardware due to being a new company and COVID / Crypto negatively impacting the hardware market (IE: It's insanely expensive to build out nodes). We have several location and lease options available to us now, all thanks to relationships formed from a long time in the industry... So keep an eye out!


The giveaway. "Okay, cool. I want free stuff!"

We our offering the following products for FREE as part of a giveaway/contest. See below on how to enter.

  • Three lucky people will win our annual "Standard" Shared Hosting plans ( https://incognet.io/webhosting ) that use DirectAdmin and CloudLinux in our Luxembourg location with the option to mirror content on both the I2P and Tor anonymity network upon request! This package is worth $30/YR!

  • Three lucky people will win an annual VPN service with three locations of their choice. ( See VPN details here: https://incognet.io/vpn ). Browse the web and use mobile apps without all the ads, trackers and 'bullshit'. This package is worth $45/YR!

  • One lucky person will win an annual 512MB VPS in our Finnish location! (Plans are shown here: https://incognet.io/vps ) This package is worth $50/YR!

How to enter:

Step 1.) Follow us on social media! Honestly, we hate social media but we can't ignore an outlet for promoting products that help fight against big tech.

Follow us on Facebook or Twitter, either one or both. Doesn't matter. We'll use these platforms to share updates and promote our blog posts as they're written.

Step 2.) Respond to this thread and enter by posting a comment, "GIVEAWAY ENTRY: VPN" (or "VPS" or "SHARED". You can enter more than one or all three to express interest in entering to win for that particular service)

NO NEED to tell us you liked or followed us on social media. We don't care or want to know who you really are on social media, this is basically just the honor system. We are trying to grow our social media accounts, however, so if you use them please follow us. If you don't use Social Media, good for you. You can still enter... We really have no way of knowing anyway...

Step 3.) Wait one week. Seven (7) days after this post, we will announce all of the winners in this thread. They will be chosen at random by us and tagged. Details on how to claim your winning will be sent via PM.


Don't want to wait a week? No problem! We have some LowEndTalk special deals available in limited supply, right now!

    FAQ:

    So what is IncogNet and why should I give you my business?

    I formed IncogNet because I grew tired of the current state of the internet where privacy is rarely offered or encouraged, and where companies big and small collect, track, sell, and often leak personal details about their users. There seems to be a new trend of big tech acting politically, whereas I believe freedom of speech and expression is a fundamental human right. I don't have to like what you say to support the right for it to be said. It's in my opinion that companies and service providers should be apolitical and not take hard stances on speech and that normal, everyday internet users should consider taking steps to protect themselves online.

    TL;DR: We're just a very small team of people who have been in the hosting industry for a very long time, all in different roles, and who just want to offer simple solutions to what we consider modern day digital problems. That's really about as simple as I can explain it.

    How does your VPN service block ads?

    We maintain our own DNS blocklists that was sourced from other public lists. We then ran a beta program for a few months to help fine tune it more with common, everyday usage. It blocks most embedded ads, including all of the major ad-networks as well as analytic trackers, known malicious sites (IE: Sites serving malware) and other "bullshit". The idea is to not block CONTENT, but instead to just block JUNK. So, if you don't want to run heavy browser extensions or app addons to block stuff, let us do the work for you at the DNS level on all devices. We still rely on feedback to improve the blocklists so it's something that is changing and becoming better with time.

    What is your VPN's DNS over Tor?

    We're using a surprisingly fast and stable anycast DNS setup over Tor, where your DNS requests get sent to the nearest DNS server in our small cluster of 3 DNS servers (Las Vegas, New York, and Luxembourg. Miami soon. Thanks BuyVM!) and is finished from a random selection within a pool of geographically near Tor nodes. The end point of your DNS request will be changing frequently. This is a big improvement where we were recently using a single DNS server and unbound in Luxembourg for all locations. While this setup worked, it still provided a single point of failure and we wanted to eliminate that.

    Is this a legit business? Where are you registered?

    IncogNet is legally operating as an LLC and registered in the great state of Wyoming in the USA. We chose Wyoming due to taxes and privacy, as they're one of the few states that allow anonymous LLCs. We received our legal status on April 21st of 2021, though had been offering services in very limited capacity since around November of 2020. Despite the short time frame of operation, those of us who contribute and make up IncogNet have been in the industry for a very long time, in various roles within different companies. This isn't a fly-by-night summer host operation, despite the suspect timing, ha!

    Can I host whatever I want?

    Absolutely not. While we are very strong supporters of free speech and privacy, there are simply things that are recognized in practically all areas of the world as illegal. Our full Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy can be reviewed here: https://incognet.io/legalstuff .

    What payment methods do you accept?

    Currently we accept PayPal (though we are considering dropping them and replacing them with a different merchant for cards) and Crypto as traditional payment. The crypto we accept include: BTC, BCH, DASH, DOGE, ETC, ETH, LTC, OXEN, THETA/TFUEL, XMR. We will also accept cash or precious metals mailed (with a delay in setup, we must first receive and verify it is real) and barter for larger or for semiannual or longer service periods. We're pretty libertarian. If you offer services like graphic design, content creation, etc -- Hit us up. We may be willing to trade service for service as well.

    If you have any other questions, ask them in the comments below or send us a support ticket!


    VPS Benchmark

    Benchmark ran on the plan offered as a promotion in this thread. Results will obviously vary. Testing with LVM FDE on a remote desktop resulted in similar scores.

    Modest nodes intended to host a small number of containers. SSDs, not NVMe's, but performance that will be suitable for most.

    Not that I want to spoil the fun, but what DDOS protection do you use/offer? Can you tell us a bit more about that?
    I'm also asking because frankly, $5/mo for a 512 MB, 1 Ryzen vCore VPS is not at all cheap, but of course some excellent DDOS protection might make it attractive anyway.

    The KVM stuff is with Hetzner, so I would say that the protection is average? Admittedly, better protection exists for high risk servers. About pricing, we can always provide a custom quote as well. A little higher website pricing helps keep things a bit more manageable and allows more wiggle room during promotion times as well. :)

    What are the VPN protocols on offer? Any protocol for circumventing Chinese GFW?

    @xetsys said: What are the VPN protocols on offer? Any protocol for circumventing Chinese GFW?

    Currently just OpenVPN, but Wireguard will be available soon. With us wanting people to be able to connect and communicate we want to do something that can be catered to areas like China, but it's not something we've figured out how we want to approach yet. I've briefly looked into things like V2Ray and have some links to docs and information on my 'to-do list' for a while about it but it's about as far as I've gotten on that front.

    Any suggestions?

    @hyperblast said: @MannDude i read alot about privacy in your post but paymentoptions beside crypto is handled by paypal... hmm... do you accept cash, too?

    We "do" (or rather, "can") accept cash, but it's a bit more of an involved process and not something we want to do for a $5 bill each month. For longer term payments (quarterly, semiannually and annually) then it makes more sense.

    There is various crypto, of which doesn't neccessarily need to be done through the CoinPayments processor. (In fact, we accept Theta/Tfuel as crypto and that is processed direct, not through CoinPayments)

    Heck, you could make some graphics for our site or something and we could assign a value to that in exchange of service.
