About FlokiNET
FlokiNET is the closest competitor on hardware — they ship NVMe SSDs and include 1 Tbps DDoS mitigation on every plan. Iceland is a strong privacy jurisdiction; Romania is the budget-friendly alternative. The trade-off vs uNode is mostly price (modestly higher) and network throughput (1 Gbps vs uNode's 10 Gbps).
