~vern is a non-commercial tilde focused on free software and services!

All our servers run free GNU/Linux distributions.

We host many services that are available for public use.

You can get access to the "Reg Needed" services by signing up via the registration form.

With the exception of clearnet Minetest & the DNS Resolver, none of the services we host have the capability to log IP addresses due to our use of WireGuard.

Additionally, services hosted on Iceberg have the capability to IP-log but are disabled.

We also host onion services and I2P eepsites for most of these services.

Services marked with "AD:" have alternate (sub)domains you can use for them.
