Cloakvpn.com is an VPN service using the OpenVPN protocol. CloakVPN encrypts your internet traffic and cloaks your actual location. CloakVPN accepts Monero and provisions users directly off the blockchain payments without needing any user information.

Check back next week for another merchant that accepts Monero for their goods and services.

If you want to get involved in making Monero better, but aren’t sure how, check out the volunteer opportunities below.

Anyone with moderate technical ability is encouraged to try to build and run Monero nightlies. Do not trust it with your Monero, but feel free to open an Issue on Github as problems arise. Instructions to build on your OS of choice can be found on GitHub.

Download I2P Zero for your machine, follow the direction in the README, and report any issues to the Issue tracker on GitHub, or IRC channel #i2p-zero.

If you speak any language beside English, Monerujo needs your help.
