Question about publishing vpn app in app store

Hello, we are developing an open source vpn program that is developed with Flutter and native parts with Swift, and we plan to publish it on the App Store soon, but the project programmers say that you must have an account to publish this app on the App Store. On the other hand, my other friends say that this is not the case, and to publish a vpn app, only one Apple Developer account is enough, and there is no need for a business account!

In general, the question is, do we need a commercial developer Apple account to publish a VPN app or not?

I don’t work for App Review, and can’t make definitive statements on their behalf. However, clause 5.4 of the App Review Guidelines seems pretty clear to me:

VPN services … may only be offered by developers enrolled as an organization.

Share and Enjoy
