  Most VPNs are better as a paid customer anyways. Mullvad is $6 a month and I get nearly my full Internet speed while using it. Invest in your own privacy.

    I know but the problem is that if you pay for a VPN, that’s traceable which has its own sorts of issues (not to even mention KYC-like laws).

    If there was a VPN service that was a, like, one-time payment only or that accepted giftcards that could be easier.

      Mullvad literally let’s you pay with cash in an unmarked envelope with your account token if you want to

        On one-time payment? 👀

      Mullvad has a bunch of ways to pay by cash or Bitcoin. Several are totally anonymous. No digital service will allow you to pay only once because it’s not free for them to provide said service.

        Ahem.

        I’m a SDF user, so I am living proof that there exist digital services that will allow you to pay only once. Heck, they gave me a whole shell session and web space as well as other few goodies (that I’m far too lazy to use I’m afraid). And all I had to do was to fax them some money once and never ever have to think about it again.

        If digital services won’t give you an option to pay once and instead force you into the rent seeking grift, it’s a skill issue on their end.
