KeyNode VPN is an OpenVPN configuration service aimed at users in Russia. It has no app of its own: after paying, you download a personal config file and import it into the official, free OpenVPN Connect app. That works on iPhone/iPad, Android, Windows, macOS, Android TV and Linux.
Price and payment. There is a single tariff at 220.00 RUB per period. The provider does not sell longer subscriptions, there is no free plan, and refunds for activated, working keys are ruled out. You can pay in Bitcoin, USDT, Monero (XMR) or TON, or with the Russian fast-payment system SBP. Sign-up is anonymous: no name, phone number or e-mail is asked for, and access runs on anonymous keys.
Logging. The English privacy policy states: "We do not monitor, record, log, or store browsing history, DNS queries, traffic payloads, destination IP addresses, connection timestamps, or bandwidth utilization inside the encrypted VPN tunnel." Routing state is said to live only in RAM. The Russian policy also mentions short-term technical system logs used against network attacks, and gives no retention period for them. No independent audit has been published, and there is no public case that proves the no-logs claim.
Censorship. The service is built to get around standard Russian blocks. The provider says itself that it cannot connect if ISPs switch on a total "whitelist" regime.
Pros
- Anonymous sign-up, crypto payment including Monero
- Simple, single short-term tariff with no long lock-in
- Uses the standard open-source OpenVPN client
Cons
- No own apps, and OpenVPN is the only protocol
- No refunds for activated keys
- No independent no-logs audit, and the retention period for system logs is not published
- Support only via Telegram
