Donate

If you find any of the services I host useful, like the content I make, or otherwise, consider helping me continue to provide this stuff.

Although the capacity I have does support quite a lot of people, it costs to host these services due to bandwidth, compute and much more. Plus, there’s always room to expand. It’s not just me, there are also other maintainers who accept donations and helping support their projects is great too (like Nadeko, who makes the Invidious fork I use).

You can even contribute to the code of Invidious, SearXNG, even cloudstreaming and many other projects if you know how to write in their respective languages. Or, you can help financially.

To be transparent:

As you can see, the cost is not horrible but it’s also not sustainable forever. I will try to keep the lights on for anyone finding “the lights” useful.

Even though my server might seem new, I’ve been working on it for months and I’ve been creating similar projects for years, some of which had donation pages as well. As a reminder, it’s perfectly okay if you can’t financially help!

Generally, I plan to expand by getting a secondary server which can help load balance or as a backup in case of emergencies. Additional support would also help improve reliability, increase proxy capacity, and allow for more caching and larger projects over time.

If you can, there are some ways:

Buy Me a Coffee

This is a platform like Patreon for one-time contributions.

Mullvad gift card (contact me if you decide to support this way)

No, this is not for my own personal use, services running through Mullvad require a subscription of course and some services will rely on it extensively due to their generous allowances.

Otherwise, there is crypto options in case you want to stay more private:

These addresses link to self custodial wallets. Big wallet providers like Coinbase (or some other giant random provider like Bitpay) will not know you sent anything, unless you use that yourself.

Thank you for reading!
