I know absolutely nothing about cryptocurrency. What's the easiest, and safest (as in won't get scammed, not too concerned with identity but it would be nice),

  Setup a coinbase account. Link you bank account and buy enough of whatever cryptocoin they accept. Once you own the coin, go to the buy page on the VPN site. It will give you a long address. Use coinbase to send the correct amount of coin to that address. Depending on various factors, the transaction will process nearly immediately, or within an hour.

    For an added layer of anonymity I would move what you buy on coinbase to binance and trade it for another currency. So for example buy litecoin on coinbase, move to binance. Trade that for Bitcoin and pay using that.

      Or better: use chipmixer [1]. Mixing coins through centralized exchanges does not really help as any party which gains access to binance' backend, whether it be successful hacking attempt or some law enforcement, can completely de-anonymize and backtrack the initial transaction through their logs and the blockchain.

        I specifically called out binance because LE is highly unlikely to get access to their logs. But it's a remote possibility yes. Chipmixer or services similar always have the possibility, however remote, of your money disappearing.
