While we do what we can [https://buskill.in/netherlands-novacustom/] to allow at-risk folks to purchase BusKill cables anonymously [https://buskill.in/netherlands-novacustom/] (or make [https://buskill.in/netherlands-novacustom/] their own), there is always the risk of interdiction [https://buskill.in/netherlands-novacustom/].

A better solution (in addition to making the hardware designs open-source) is to let users purchase the device anonymously. Generally, the best way to defeat interdiction is to go to a physical brick-and-mortar and pay with cash. # About NovaCustom In Mar 2015, Wessel klein Snakenborg (founder of NovaCustom) started selling highly-customizable Linux laptops from Europe.
