With proper design and planning, VPN services can operate with no
logging, using diskless machines as openvpn servers, with user account
details coming from Tor hidden services. If the openvpn servers are
impounded, there is no information on them, except for a few bits in
memory. After the dust settles, operators can open again somewhere else.
