I've recently paid for a VPN subscription using BitCoin. When you do BitCoin there is no auto renewal and I consider it to be a good thing. EDIT: s/now/no

- artursapek 8y agoIt's a pita for the service provider who is implementing the subscription logic, but as the customer it's pretty sweet.
- michaelt 8y agoIsn't the logic the same as a gift subscription? Just at the payment stage you send them to BitPay instead of Paypal?
- artursapek 8y agoThe main difference is customers will send the BTC a few minutes too late, and then it turns into this situation where it has to be refunded. This used to be an extra step when using Stripe for BTC payments (they have since stopped supporting BTC payments completely)
- parfamz 8y agoWhich provider?
- p2t2p 8y agoIt was PIA - PrivateInternetAccess. I first tried ExpressVPN and for privacy I'd recommend ExpressVPN because they located in a place with no data retention laws. However PIA has port forwarding support and that is crucial for my case. Both support payment via Bitpay. ExpressVPN returned the money no problem after I've discovered that they don't do port forwarding.
- Vektorweg 8y agoI'm using IPredator. They give you a dynamic IPv4+v6 address and you can pay with Bitcoin.
- mclehman 8y agoI'm sure there are many more, but Mullvad is one VPN provider accepting bitcoin payments (as well as cash).
- Cyph0n 8y agoMullvad has been great. Very easy to setup and they do not take any of your personal details. Instead of a user/email and password, you get a random account number that is used to track your payments and authenticate you.
