Sponsored access

Protection for those who need it, whether they can pay or not.

tocoro exists because no one should be spied on for reading, speaking, or gathering. That conviction can't depend on a credit card. If you need to protect your connection and can't afford to, this program is for you.

Who it's for

  • Journalists and independent media
  • Activists and human rights defenders
  • Religious or marginalized communities under surveillance
  • Anyone who needs to protect their connection and can't pay for it

You don't need to fit a label. If your situation calls for it, write to us.

What you get

Twelve full months of tocoro, renewable. The same servers and the same speed as any paying account — there are no second-class accounts here.

How to apply

Write to [email protected] with two or three lines of context: who you are (in general terms) and why you need it.

  • We don't ask for proof that puts you at risk.
  • We don't need your real name. An email is enough — an alias works.
  • We reply within a few days with a prepaid code ready to redeem in the app.

Organizations

An NGO, a newsroom, a collective? Write to us for bulk codes for your team or the people you support.

Confidentiality

Requests are deleted once resolved. The code you redeem is never linked to your message: your account is a random number like any other.

How it's funded

By paid subscriptions. Every paying account sustains the service for someone who can't pay. If you want to help directly, gift a prepaid code to someone who needs it — or write to us about sponsoring program accounts.
