Servury vs AnyIP vs IPRoyal: No-KYC Proxy Compared

By mid-2026, the proxy market has fractured into two camps: providers that demand a government ID before they sell you a single port, and providers that still treat anonymity as a feature rather than a liability. A Monero user routing traffic through a residential exit, a journalist scraping court filings, or a research analyst rotating through datacenter IPs all share the same problem — most "premium" proxy networks now pipe identity documents straight into the same KYC vendors that banks use. This guide compares three of the few providers still operating on a no-KYC or minimal-verification basis: Servury, AnyIP, and IPRoyal. We evaluate them across payment methods, logging policy, network composition, jurisdiction, and how cleanly each one integrates with Monero workflows of the kind MoneroSwapper customers run every day.

The comparison is intentionally narrow. We are not interested in which provider has the largest residential pool on paper or which one ranks highest on aggregator review sites. We care about which one you can sign up for, fund, and use without ever uploading a passport, attaching a Stripe-verified card, or producing a utility bill. That is a much shorter list than the public marketing suggests.

Why no-KYC proxies still matter in 2026

The 2024–2025 wave of EU and US regulatory pressure pushed most consumer proxy resellers toward "lite KYC" — selfie checks, ID upload at the first chargeback, or address verification through Plaid-style aggregators. Even providers who do not legally need to perform KYC now do it preemptively to keep Stripe and PayPal merchant accounts open. The downstream effect is that a privacy-conscious buyer who simply wants a residential exit in Frankfurt now faces the same paperwork as someone opening a brokerage account.

This matters for several practical reasons that go beyond ideology:

  • Operational security: The proxy itself is supposed to be the privacy layer. If the provider holds your passport, fingerprinted browser session, and payment trail in one record, the proxy has become the de-anonymizer rather than the anonymizer.
  • Subpoena surface: Providers that collect identity documents inevitably receive law-enforcement requests and civil subpoenas. A no-KYC provider with no record to hand over is structurally safer for lawful but sensitive research.
  • Account longevity: KYC-heavy providers tend to freeze accounts when traffic patterns look "unusual" — a common occurrence for scraping, ad verification, and Monero-related research. No-KYC providers care about payment, not behavior profiling.
  • Payment optionality: Buying proxies with Monero is the natural complement to using a proxy in the first place. Card-only providers force you back into the surveillance stack you were trying to leave.

MoneroSwapper users frequently ask which proxy providers accept XMR directly without bouncing through a third-party gateway that itself demands KYC on amounts over a threshold. That is the test we are applying below.

The three providers at a glance

Servury, AnyIP, and IPRoyal occupy noticeably different niches. Servury markets itself almost exclusively to the privacy and OPSEC community — its landing pages mention Tor, Monero, and operational anonymity as first-class features rather than afterthoughts. AnyIP positions as a mid-market generalist with flexible bandwidth pricing and a quiet no-KYC posture that is not loudly advertised but is, in practice, respected. IPRoyal is the most mainstream of the three, with a much larger network, public reseller program, and the operational maturity that comes with several years of growth — but with corresponding compromises on the verification side.

Servury

Servury is a relatively young provider (launched 2023, expanded significantly in 2025) whose technical pitch centers on residential and ISP proxies sold under a no-logs policy and paid for, by default, in cryptocurrency. The sign-up flow asks for nothing more than an email — a Proton or Tutanota address works without complaint. Payment options include Monero, Bitcoin (on-chain and Lightning), and stablecoins, with fiat available only via prepaid card vouchers in select regions. There is no card-on-file option, which is deliberate; the absence of card processors removes the upstream KYC pressure that would otherwise propagate down to the user.

Network composition skews toward European residential exits, with reasonable North American coverage and thinner Asia-Pacific presence. Sticky session durations are configurable up to 30 minutes; rotating sessions are per-request. Bandwidth is priced by the gigabyte rather than by the IP, which suits Monero researchers and OSINT users who burn relatively little throughput on highly diverse exit points.

AnyIP

AnyIP is harder to summarize because it operates in several segments — residential, mobile, and datacenter — under a unified dashboard. Crypto payments have been supported since launch, and ID verification is requested only in narrowly defined scenarios such as enterprise reseller agreements above a certain monthly spend. For the typical individual buyer purchasing a few hundred dollars of bandwidth, no documents are requested. AnyIP's quiet approach to this means it does not advertise itself as a "privacy provider," yet operationally it functions like one.

Pricing on AnyIP is usually a step above Servury at low volumes and a step below at high volumes, reflecting the discounting that kicks in around the 100 GB monthly tier. AnyIP's network strength is in mobile proxies and rotating residential pools across LATAM and Southeast Asia, regions where Servury is thinner. The dashboard also supports more granular geo-targeting at the city level, which matters for ad verification and localized scraping.

IPRoyal

IPRoyal is the elder statesman of this comparison. It has been operating since 2020, runs one of the larger residential pools outside the Bright Data/Oxylabs tier, and supports a broad menu of products including datacenter, ISP, residential, mobile, and the well-known Pawns peer-to-peer pool. IPRoyal accepts cryptocurrency, including Monero, but its KYC posture has shifted over time. As of 2026, individual residential and datacenter purchases under a moderate spend threshold proceed without verification, but the company will request documents when traffic volume crosses certain heuristic triggers, when refunds are requested, or for users who select the Royal Residential premium product.

The practical implication is that IPRoyal is no-KYC in many common scenarios but not categorically so. Users who want a guarantee of zero-verification operation should treat it as conditional. The benefit, in return, is access to a network depth and stability that neither Servury nor AnyIP currently match.

Head-to-head comparison

The table below summarizes the dimensions that matter most for a privacy-conscious buyer. Note that prices fluctuate; the relative positioning is more stable than the absolute numbers.

Dimension Servury AnyIP IPRoyal
KYC posture None at any spend tier None for individuals; reseller tier may verify None below threshold; conditional above
Monero accepted Yes, native Yes, via processor Yes, via processor
Email-only signup Yes Yes Yes
Network size (residential) Medium Medium-large Large
Geo coverage strength Europe, North America LATAM, Southeast Asia, Mobile Global, deepest pool
Pricing model Per GB, simple Per GB with tier discounts Per GB, per IP, hybrid
Logging policy No-logs (stated) Minimal logs, 30 days Operational logs, varies by product
Jurisdiction Privacy-friendly EU Mixed, dashboard-routed Lithuania
Refund policy Trial credit, no fiat refunds Pro-rated, 7 days Conditional, may trigger KYC

Read this table as a positioning map rather than a leaderboard. Servury wins on principle but loses on raw network size. IPRoyal wins on scale but introduces conditional verification. AnyIP sits in the middle, offering a pragmatic blend that suits buyers who care about no-KYC operation but also want regional coverage that the smaller competitors cannot match.

Paying for proxies with Monero: the practical flow

All three providers accept Monero, but the mechanics differ in ways that affect privacy. Understanding the difference is the whole point of choosing a no-KYC provider in the first place — paying with XMR through a payment processor that itself logs the transaction undermines the exercise.

  1. Pick your provider and load the checkout page. Confirm the displayed XMR amount and the integrated address. Servury generates a fresh subaddress per invoice on its own node; AnyIP and IPRoyal use a third-party processor (typically NowPayments or a similar middleware) that surfaces a unique deposit address per order.
  2. Acquire XMR if needed. If you do not already hold Monero, use a no-KYC swap service such as MoneroSwapper to convert from BTC, LTC, or another asset. The output goes to a wallet you control — Feather, Cake, or the official GUI — not to an exchange-hosted balance.
  3. Send the exact amount. Use a stealth address output if your wallet supports it; the provider should still receive a clean payment. Confirmation requirements vary: Servury credits after 10 confirmations, AnyIP after 10, IPRoyal after 12 in most cases.
  4. Verify the credit on the dashboard. The amount should appear as a bandwidth balance or an active subscription. Do not retry the payment if the dashboard is slow; check the blockchain first.
  5. Configure your endpoints and start routing traffic. Save the credentials in a password manager rather than in browser autofill, and rotate them periodically.

The key distinction is whether the payment touches a processor that performs its own KYC on amounts over a threshold. NowPayments, for example, may flag transactions in the high four figures and request verification from the merchant — which is invisible to you but means the provider has, at minimum, a record from the processor side. Servury's native integration sidesteps this entirely, which is why it commands a small premium in the privacy-focused segment.

A no-KYC proxy paid for through a KYC payment processor is only as private as the processor's weakest link. Native crypto checkout matters more than the proxy logo on the landing page.

Use cases and which provider fits each

The three providers reward different workloads. Matching the workload to the provider matters more than chasing whichever option ranks first in a generic review.

OSINT and journalistic research

For investigators rotating through residential exits to view geo-restricted news, court filings, or social-media accounts, Servury is the most consistent fit. The combination of strict no-logs operation, native XMR billing, and European jurisdiction provides a defensible privacy posture if methodology is ever questioned. Bandwidth requirements for this work are typically modest, so Servury's per-GB pricing does not become punitive.

Ad verification and localized scraping

If you need to verify that ads render correctly to users in São Paulo, Manila, or Jakarta, AnyIP's regional strength becomes decisive. The mobile and LATAM pools are deeper than what Servury can offer, and the city-level targeting works without re-buying a different SKU. The lack of categorical no-KYC marketing means AnyIP gets less attention from the privacy community, but operationally it is in the same tier for individual buyers.

High-volume scraping and price intelligence

For workloads that burn terabytes of bandwidth monthly, IPRoyal's network depth and tier pricing usually win on cost. The trade-off is the conditional KYC posture at scale and the operational logs retained for the datacenter product. Buyers in this category should evaluate whether their threat model can tolerate the conditional verification — for most commercial scraping, it can.

Monero-specific privacy stacks

Users who route Monero wallet traffic through a proxy — for example, when connecting to a remote node from a network that may correlate XMR-related traffic with their IP — should prefer providers that pair native Monero billing with strict logging policy. Servury is the cleanest fit. A residential exit that you paid for with Monero, on a provider that retains no traffic logs, gives a coherent stack rather than a stack of contradictions.

Red flags to watch for across all three

No proxy provider is immune to the broader pressures of payment processor compliance and abuse mitigation. The following patterns are worth monitoring regardless of which provider you pick:

  • Sudden "verify your account" prompts after first payment: often a sign that a processor flagged the transaction. Contact support before resending payment.
  • Bandwidth resets that ignore unused balance: read the terms before committing to large GB packages; some providers expire bandwidth after 30 days.
  • Subnet contamination: a previous user may have burned the residential IP you receive. Test against your target before assuming the IP is clean.
  • Logging policy changes: all three providers have updated their privacy policies in the past 18 months. Re-read at renewal time rather than at first signup.
  • Refund-triggered verification: requesting a refund is the most common path to suddenly being asked for ID. If anonymity is critical, do not request refunds.

FAQ

Is using a no-KYC proxy legal?

Yes, in almost every jurisdiction. Buying and using a proxy is a normal commercial activity, and there is no legal requirement that the provider verify your identity for residential or datacenter proxy access. What you do with the proxy is what matters legally. Treat the no-KYC dimension as a privacy feature, not as a license to bypass any specific law.

Will I get a different IP if I pay with Monero versus card?

No. The IP pool you receive from is determined by the product and geo you select, not the payment method. Paying with Monero changes who holds the financial trail, not which exit you route through. The same residential IP that you can buy with a credit card on IPRoyal is available via XMR — the difference is upstream of the proxy itself.

How do I know a provider actually keeps no logs?

You cannot verify it cryptographically. What you can do is read the policy carefully, check for past incidents where law-enforcement requests were responded to, and prefer providers whose business model does not depend on log retention. Servury publishes warrant canaries; IPRoyal does not. AnyIP's stance is in-between. Choose based on the level of assurance you need.

Can I use these proxies with a Monero remote node?

Yes. All three providers support standard HTTP/SOCKS5 endpoints, which any Monero wallet that accepts a proxy setting can use. This is useful if you connect to a remote node on a network where you would rather not reveal that you are running Monero-related traffic. Combine the proxy with a wallet that supports Tor or i2p for a layered approach.

What happens if a provider gets a subpoena?

The provider can only hand over what it holds. A no-KYC provider with no payment records, no identity documents, and a no-logs traffic policy has very little to disclose beyond confirming an account existed. A provider that performs KYC and retains logs can produce a full identity-and-activity trail. This is the operational reason no-KYC matters even if you are doing nothing remotely controversial.

Do any of these providers offer a free trial?

Servury offers a small trial credit on request via support; AnyIP runs a paid micro-tier rather than a free trial; IPRoyal occasionally offers promotional credit through its affiliate program. None of the three require a card on file to test the service. Use the trial to evaluate IP cleanliness against your specific targets.

Conclusion

The no-KYC proxy space is smaller in 2026 than it was even two years ago, but it has not disappeared. Servury sits at the strict end of the spectrum — small, privacy-focused, native Monero billing, no verification at any tier. IPRoyal sits at the mainstream end — large network, conditional verification, broader product menu. AnyIP occupies the pragmatic middle, offering operational no-KYC for individual buyers without making it a marketing centerpiece. The right choice depends on the workload and the threat model rather than on a generic ranking. If your stack already runs on Monero, complete the loop by paying for the proxy with XMR — and acquire that XMR through a no-KYC swap path such as MoneroSwapper so that the privacy story is consistent from wallet to exit IP. A proxy is only as private as the weakest link in the chain that paid for it.
