Just did a swap of about $500. All fine, zero problems. Only one bitcoin confirmation required.

Bought a $5 visa card to pay tailscale (mullvad addon) which is a US company (so US cards work there). Paid with Monero, the fee was a bit high (I had to pay $10 to get $5), but the card worked. The site to claim the card blocks VPNs, so I had to use a SOCKS proxy to actually get the card without exposing my IP.

Pricier than going straight to Mullvad, but it's a privacy upgrade. The trust gets split so itt kind of breaks the trust chain required in conventional VPNs.

Fast swap, no problems. Swapped around 2XMR. Will keep testing this provider and update if I find any issues.

I've been using Kyun for a long time. It's a good service. The UI is nice, and they offer cheap VPS with custom image options. However, uptime isn't reliable. Most of the year, everything runs fine and you won't notice a thing. But those outages (once or twice annually) can drag on for hours, sometimes days. Users need to be aware of their ToS, which clearly states: > We do not guarantee uptime, availability or performance. Our services are not intended for critical operations. So if you host something critical on their infrastructure, that's your own fault. They never committed to maintaining a 99.99% SLA. Small team, cheap prices, unreliable uptime... you can't have it all.
