VPNs with RAM-only servers
A server that runs entirely in memory keeps nothing once it’s switched off. If it is seized or tampered with, there’s no disk to copy logs or keys from.
It’s one layer, not a guarantee: some respected providers deliberately use encrypted disks instead and explain why. Here we list those that say their network runs diskless.
