There’s way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers
As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.
Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.
I don’t understand the downvotes. Crypto is ideal way of paying if you want to stay anonymous. Even Mullvad says that if you pay with Paypal that there’s some data they are required to keep on file.
Crypto isn’t anonymous though from my understanding. Since every transaction gets recorded, you can be identified through your transaction history.
It’s true and not true. If you’re not careful, you can get identified even while using cryptocurrency because the ledgers are all public. If anyone can figure out that you’re tied to a single one of your historical transactions, they can trace everything your “wallet” has ever done. But if you use single-use wallets, crypto shufflers, whatever else the kids have going these days, you can be untraceable. The easiest way to do private crypto is to use Monero, which automatically handles most privacy concerns.

I’m not immersed in the cryptocurrency world day-to-day so if anything has changed lmk
True with Bitcoin. Not with Monero if I understand correctly.
You can also pay for mullvad by mailing them cash with a note saying which account to apply it to. I did it once just for fun.
