You're welcome to use cryptocurrencies (we have a page for that), and our system only links your identity at connection time to ensure you have a valid subscription. Your traffic isn't tied to your identity, and you can look at the code to verify that.
- OsrsNeedsf2P 1y agoCryptocurrencies? Aka the least private form of transactions, where not only the sender and receiver know, but the whole block chain immutably stores for everyone else to view?
- kwanbix 1y agoSo what do you suggest instead?
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y agoSemi-serious: redeemable codes you can buy at a national retail chain, ostensibly using cash. It has the unfortunate side effect of training people to fall for scams, however. Bonus points if you can somehow make the codes worthless on the black market, I guess.
- tavavex 1y agoSome VPNs kind of offer that. I know at least one that sells physical redeemable cards you can buy - maybe physically in some countries, but in mine it's only available on Amazon. Even that option should be safe for keeping your identifying data from the VPN provider, even in the situation where they betray their promises on not holding onto your data. This is because Amazon can't know which exact code was sent out to you, and the provider in turn doesn't have any additional info to associate with that code, besides knowing if it's valid or not. The biggest downside is that now Amazon knows you paid for this service, even if they don't know the specifics. There's also an option to just mail them cash, but some countries may seize all mailed cash if discovered.

- rasengan 1y ago> Cryptocurrencies? Aka the least private form of transactions, where not only the sender and receiver know, but the whole block chain immutably stores for everyone else to view? There are cryptocurrencies like ZCash, Monero, Zano, Freedom Dollar, etc. that are sufficiently private.
- akimbostrawman 1y agocryptocurrency != bitcoin. monero has solved this issue for almost a decade.
- thrown-0825 1y agothey just got exploited a few days ago
- akimbostrawman 1y agothey did not. the attack did not change anything about the privacy and anonymity. it isn't even an exploit, its simply using tens of million of dollar in mining costs to try doing a 51% attack and spread FUD which worked on you. this isn't reddit. if you are trying to act like a know it all at least do basic research.
- thrown-0825 1y agoa 51% attack poc is successfully executed and you call it FUD lmao. crypto rubes are hilarious.
- akimbostrawman 1y agoThey have not reached 51%. 30% was so far the highest which means at worst they can do selfish mining. Again none of it is relevant to the topic of privacy and anonymity even if they did reach 51%.
- exfil 1y agoYou cannot offer service for money with user anonymity. Your legal knows that.
