SpinGate charges a flat $0.10 with crypto or $0.50 with card, accepts BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and Stripe-hosted USD, and forgets everything the moment you disconnect. The eight answers below cover the questions we hear most before a buyer pays.
A single session, a single charge — no subscription trap and no per-month footprint. The cost stops the moment you disconnect.
A flat price covers one encrypted tunnel on a real exit region, paid once, with no subscription and no monthly minimum. See /pricing for the full rail breakdown.
No free trial. A single session at $0.10 (crypto) or $0.50 (card) is the entry point — no email, no account, no auto-renew.
Exit-region jurisdiction-shuffle, no logs that outlast the session, and a clear list of places SpinGate refuses to operate.
SpinGate blocks access from the same jurisdictions most consumer VPNs block — sanctioned and embargoed regions — because operating there is unlawful regardless of the user’s intent. Read the jurisdiction-shuffle guide for the reasoning behind the blocklist.
No VPN traffic logs, no DNS logs, no IP retention past the active session; the connection state ends the moment you disconnect. See /about for the full no-log architecture.
Crypto rails settle on mainnet; the card rail is auth-gated and routes through Stripe Connect. A failed or unused payment never opens a tunnel.
The on-chain transaction is the receipt. A failed or underpaid send never mints a voucher and never opens a tunnel — no money is held and you can simply retry.
Guest crypto vouchers are unredeemed by default; no service was used, no refund to issue. Card refunds travel the Stripe-mediated flow. See /pricing for the card rail's Stripe-mediated flow.
Yes — USDT and BTC are accepted at checkout alongside ETH, USDC, and card. The card rail is $0.50 because that is Stripe’s per-charge minimum. Open /checkout to pick a token.
A single-use voucher mints on settlement, the tunnel comes up the moment you paste it, and the connection state ends when you disconnect.
The on-chain settlement (or Stripe auth) mints a single-use voucher. Paste it into the client, the tunnel comes up, and the connection state is forgotten on disconnect. See the guide on how the exit region is selected.
Pick a rail, pay, paste the voucher. Compare the four supported tokens and the card flow, or jump straight to checkout.
