VPS Provider that allows custom ISO, no verification, and has good uptime?

At first things with Racknerd seemed great after my previous thread, but recently the network speeds went downhill.

Can anyone recommend me a quality VPS (KVM or Xen) that allows custom ISO, no credit card or ID verification (DigitalOcean, Vultr, all require it), and has good uptime?

My main provider for a while was Virmach, but they'd always either restart my VM or the node without warning; do not want that. I use encrypted LVM + LUKS with dropbear, if my VPS is rebooted it will not work until I ssh and unlock it, very annoying if the provider restarts often without warning.

The provider needs to accept payment with crypto, the provider can block all the mail ports for all I care to prevent spam, I just need a VPS as a VPN to assist me in avoiding issues with foreign governments.

My job will send me to the Middle East soon, I do not trust American companies that ID me, the fear of them selling me out is high. It might be paranoia, but still.

    BuyVM, pay with crypto = no verification (Canadian company)

    Thanks. No PII required here, we only request an email address when you register which many choose to use forwarding services for. We don't ask for a name, number, address, or anything like that.

    There is no requirement for us to request all of this information and because I don't really want to send you a Christmas card in the mail or call you to sing happy birthday, it's information we quite frankly don't want to collect.

    I'll order from your company, thank you for being reasonable and not collecting PII.
