I made this tool so you can share ‘locked’ links safely & anonymously with a password. It gives you plausible deniability and crowd blending when sharing privates links.🔒

Makes privacy-focused service

Disallows access through VPNs

I don’t see the use case.

There’s 2 secrets here: the link and the password. And to share it with someone you need to share 2 secrets: the locked link and the password.

Why not use the same method you used to share the password to share the link instead? Without the need for this service.

Not that I’d use this service for it, but I’ve had use cases for this sort of thing. It’s not so much about plausible deniability as OP wants to sell it as, but more about security. You send the locked link (or a PW protected file or whatever) via, say, email, and the password through a text message. Then, in order for the data to be stolen, the attacker would need access to both of those, rather than only one. It’s niche, but I’ve needed to do it for my job before, so I can at least see the point.
