    afaik, that is the only way to legally have an anonymous whois entry on the clearnet (please correct me if I am wrong)

        I more or less agree with you.

        Do you know of an alternative service, which is easy to use, allows a private whois entry, but gives you the ownership of the domain?

        Before njalla, I tried domain.com and I couldn’t get the domain in 2 days after ordering it, so I cancelled. (they wrote an email saying that they are reviewing my order and will get back to me in 24h, which they didn’t).

        I just want to pay and get a domain without the hoops and without giving them my personal address and phone number.

      I think in Europe the domain name providers (or would one rather call them resellers ?) switched to redacting all private domain holder information since a few years. It was actually quite horrible like it was before, so much email spam, a free ticket for spammers to put all those Whois information wide open on the Internet. Some providers, like Greenhost in NL, provided Whois masking (cloaking ?) for customers paying a bit more.
