When you pay for a VPN with a credit card (Stripe), your financial institution creates a permanent record linking your identity to a VPN service. This record can be subpoenaed, hacked, or shared with data brokers, undermining the very privacy your VPN is supposed to protect. Cryptocurrency payments sever this link, ensuring that your VPN subscription cannot be traced back to you through financial records.
Bitcoin payments through AnubizHost are processed without requiring any identifying information. You send payment to a unique address, the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, and your server is provisioned. We do not require your name, address, or any other personal information to complete the transaction. The payment itself is pseudonymous, and when combined with proper Bitcoin privacy practices, can be effectively anonymous.
For maximum payment privacy, we also accept Monero, which provides cryptographic privacy by default. Monero transactions hide the sender, receiver, and amount from all outside observers, making them untraceable on the blockchain. If payment anonymity is your highest priority, Monero provides the strongest guarantee available in cryptocurrency today.
