How many VPNs do you think are run by intelligence services. They seem to have very deep pockets for advertising and paying people to share links to their service.
It’s the ideal candidate business for a spy agency. Not only do get wire tap level access. The targets come to you for it, especially those that would seek to avoid being spied on. They then provide you with bank details. Linking their online activity to a bank account.
Almost every single VPN site I’ve ever come across is just shilling referral links for the highest paying VPNs. Even the privacy sites with old good articles, their new articles for the best VPNs/most secure/ETC are all the best paying referrals.
VPNs are not good for anonymity. They are good for public networks, and stopping companies that are heavy on piracy to not send you DCMA warnings when you torrent. That’s it. If you are actually doing criminal things (or are in a country where you’re treated as a criminal) they can traffic shape and find out who you are quick. Even multihop VPN providers aren’t much better.
Seems like a pretty poor article just used to provide referral links to VPNs.

Mullvad and Perfect Privacy won’t need your bank details though.
@tux0r @privacyguides right. You can buy a prepaid card or mail them cash.
Prepaid card has your name.
@DivisionResult Does the voucher card have your name?
This is what I meant when I said prepaid card.
