Comments
They got bought by US based company Malwarebytes. After that they stopped accepting any crypto payments. I have confirmed this with customer support and they told that they will not bring back crypto payments. RIP Azire.
Added context: We have investigated the user claims, and confirm that are true.
Azire was once a ghost-grade VPN — unlimited bandwidth, diskless servers, and crypto-friendly onboarding. But post-acquisition by MalwareBytes in 2024, it dropped crypto and sovereign ethos. Still performant, but no longer sovereign. 🐾🛡️
