None · Commercial Israeli-owned VPNs (Kape's ExpressVPN / CyberGhost / PIA / ZenMate, Hola, Hotspot Shield) reintroduce exactly the operator you're trying to remove -- see [[:Category:VPN]]. · Custodial crypto processors like Coinbase Commerce and BitPay: they take crypto but hold funds and impose KYC, reintroducing exactly the operator-freeze risk that self-custody removes. If the goal is deplatform resistance, a custodial crypto gateway gives up the main advantage. · ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, PIA, and ZenMate are all owned by the British-Israeli Kape Technologies (now a delisted black box); Hola VPN is Israeli and resold user bandwidth. See [[:Category:VPN]] for the full ownership picture. · For deplatform resistance, see [[BTCPay Server]] (the only self-hostable option). The broader case against card gateways is covered on the Finance&Accounting category page. · Israeli-owned options (Kape's ExpressVPN / CyberGhost / PIA / ZenMate, Hola VPN, Hotspot Shield via Pango) are rejected on ownership grounds -- see [[:Category:VPN]]. · Kape's ExpressVPN / CyberGhost / PIA / ZenMate, Hola VPN, and Hotspot Shield / Betternet are rejected on ownership grounds -- see [[:Category:VPN]]. · Relying on the public matrix.org homeserver reintroduces an operator/jurisdiction -- self-host to get the benefit. Discord and Slack are centralized and not end-to-end encrypted. · WhatsApp (uses the Signal protocol but is Meta-owned and harvests metadata) and Telegram (chats are not end-to-end encrypted by default, weaker crypto). · Zoom and Google Meet are closed-source and not end-to-end encrypted by default, with the provider able to access call data. For a fully self-hosted option, Jitsi Meet on your own server keeps infrastructure in your hands (see [[:Category:Self Hosting]]). · Other
