Where has he said anything anything about "free wifi"? Also, I think that your
definition of free is very narrow.

I do not see how anyfi compares to TOR at all. Why do you think that?

On top of that we do not keep connection logs for longer then 48hrs (only to mitigate network abuse originating from inside the network) this means we are unable to comply with information requests from law agencies that take longer then 48hrs to process, for reference the DMCA allows us to take upto 7days to respond.
