"Dmytrij's anonymous VPS"

[John Case]

This is only interesting if you are not on the Internet.

Either VPS server as a hidden service, or otherwise "Tor only" or you set 
up a parallel (local ?) network.

Otherwise, you're just an ISP, no matter what kind of bread crumbs you 
take as payment, and the hammer is going to come down on things that call 
themselves "ISPs".

Think banking rules, but with no big cartel to keep them (relatively) 
industry friendly.
