If you want an anonymous VPN in the future, a good option is TORguard. They accept pay garden, so you can buy a $100 gift card at any of the places they allow (with cash), and then use that for a 2 year subscription at torguard. They use the WIREGUARD protocol so speeds are good.I specifically tried to use a OneVanilla.com prepaid card which purportedly would work but it didn’t. I thought about using Bitcoin but that’s not necessarily private either. It’s too bad they don’t take Monero which is anonymous.
Also I really don’t know where all of the concerns about using a masked card through a debit card come from. I can register without using my real name or address.
I got rid of ExpressVPN for that after they got bought out by an Israeli “cyber security” company. So far I’m happy.
