GlobaLeaks Hosting on Privacy First Offshore VPS

GlobaLeaks ships as a self contained application that runs on Debian or Ubuntu with Tor preconfigured for intake. The application expects to own the host, manage its own TLS material, and bind both clearnet and onion endpoints. AnubizHost VPS deliver exactly the substrate GlobaLeaks expects: a clean Debian or Ubuntu image, full root access, and a network that does not filter Tor.

Modest hardware is sufficient for most deployments. A small VPS handles low to medium volume intake without trouble, and scaling up is just a matter of picking a larger plan or migrating to a dedicated server. The platform scales linearly with hardware, so the hosting decision can be revisited as the deployment grows.

GlobaLeaks deployments rely heavily on Tor for source side anonymity. AnubizHost does not filter, throttle, or inspect Tor traffic on offshore VPS plans. That means onion service descriptors publish reliably, source uploads complete at full Tor circuit speed, and the platform behaves the way upstream documentation describes.

For deployments that want to provide a clearnet entry point in addition to the onion service, dedicated IPs are included on every VPS and can be used to serve a clearnet site that links to the onion address. The combined deployment fits comfortably on a single VPS for most use cases.

GlobaLeaks is deployed by very different operators - some are formal anti corruption agencies, others are activist collectives. The right hosting jurisdiction depends on the operator. Government agencies often pick a jurisdiction inside their own legal regime. Activist groups frequently choose Iceland or Switzerland for the procedural barriers those jurisdictions impose on adversarial requests.

AnubizHost makes the jurisdiction choice explicit at checkout and accepts crypto billing for operators who do not want their hosting account tied to a real world organization. That combination supports the full spectrum of GlobaLeaks deployments.
