Was just reading up about Njalla, seems pretty good, and there's also that the Pirate Bay creator is the front man for it. Looks like they only accept crypto and PayPal though, and PayPal wouldn't guarantee privacy.

The ladies at Ovarit are using a company called Porkbun who does the same thing ... Porkbun is out of Oregon though, so since they're in the US, I think long-term privacy and protection would be a concern.

That's good to know about Ovarit. Though it looks like all Porkbun provides is standard WhoIs protection (someone correct me if I'm wrong), which only works as long as nobody's trying to sue you. Njalla gets around this by being the "owner" of the domain. Here's what their FAQ page has to say:

We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these. We sit in between the domain name registration service and you, acting as a privacy shield. When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party.
