What are some VPNs that accept Monero? Monero is a great way to subscribe to a VPN without giving away extra information to the VPN provider. The following list of Monero accepting VPNs plus a brief guide on best practices is available in issue #4 of my Thought Crime Trap House newsletter. I can only personally vouch for the quality of Mullvad, although I have used IVPN without any issues, but that was a few years ago. I will be experimenting with Nym soon and will put a review in an upcoming issue. Mullvad VPN - 10% discount for Monero payments, fast, reliable, reputable, large user base means bigger crowd to hide in, proven to not keep logs (at least at the time of the law enforcement raid) Obscura VPN - Accepts Monero, uses Mullvad's servers but adds a second layer of privacy in between so that Mullvad never is exposed to your IP address, currently only available on Mac OS and iOS. Nym - Accepts Monero, offers both a 2 hop fast mode that they claim bypasses most VPN blocks as well as a 5 hop mixnet that creates random noise to further anonymize your traffic from things like packet analysis. They are Mode expensive than most VPNs though. They also seem to collect a bit more data about their users than I would like. I will be testing their service soon and will let you know what I think in a future issue. ProtonVPN - Very recently began accepting Monero after a Monero community member collected petition signatures for them to do so, although I think the Monero payments are done through a third party rather than through Proton's website. This one also has a large user base, although I am a little cautious about Proton as a company because they are a little too mainstream/corporate for my liking, but I still use some of their products. I have not used the VPN though. IVPN - Accepts Monero, is the only VPN I've found that is based in Gibralatar which might be good or bad I don't know, usually highly rated in the privacy community.
