  PIA takes bitcoin, i’ve used it myself before. easier, cheaper and less risky than sending cash in the post

    Also traceable unless you bought the bitcoin anonymously or mined it. Mullvad accepts Monero, which is not traceable (and also bitcoin if you really want to).

      at the moment no one is going into that level of granularity. I do own some monero, if i feel the need in the future i may switch over to that completely or at least start purchasing bitcoin anonymously which is something else a VPN can help with.

        Yeah, Monero is a pain which is why a lot of people prefer mailing the money. That was my point.

    You can use cash to buy gift cards, then fuel your account with 3rd party gift cards. privateinternetaccess.com/…/gift-card-payment (Not the most economical, but a good way to bootstrap into a VPN if more traditional payments are not available)
