For some reason vpns slow it down a lot more than mobile, any privacy focused DNS I can use?

  • I was considering paying for the cheapest possible windscribe plan. 3 euro for 2 countries and unlimited data, is tagt Good? Can’t really pay much because I’m a teen and parents are very anti vpns. They monitor my revolut card and I don’t have and source of income yet

      I would recommend mullvad. It’s only €5 a month. They are an exceptional provider. They take crypto payments, they take payments via the mail, you can definitely avoid using your credit card.

          Check their website for details. But basically you mail a Fiverr to them. With the account number. That’s it. Yeah there’s a risk, but it’s a relatively small risk.

          Mining crypto on your laptop is probably not going to be super efficient, so you’ll probably spend more money in electricity than you’re going to make in mining. But it would hide that expense from whoever is monitoring you.

          Cryptography is open source, so it’s available for anyone to use, but the central exchanges probably have age limits. So you could mine it yourself with no problem. And spend it that way. Or use mail or get a scratcher or a variety of other things.

          You could check localmonero.co for your local area, seeing people selling monero for local things. But that’s a lot of overhead as well.

          Probably the simplest thing is just use the mail
