If you pay using the right method, Mullvad doesn't know your identity.
- mrzimmerman 5y agoCame here to promote Mullvad as well. Not that they can’t point back to your up address or some such but since you can login to the VPN using a unique identifier instead of an email address and password it’s a pretty decent way to decouple it from your PII.
- elliekelly 5y agoAnd you can pay with cash. I always feel a bit funny dropping $10 cash in the mail with no return address but so far it’s always made it into my account.
- phyalow 5y agoThey have your fingerprints now (and possibly your DNA from the stamp)!
- SahAssar 5y agoNo, I use SnailOnionCoin. It sends my cash through a number of intermediaries, each just getting a .onion adress explaining where to send it next. Every hop is also switched between cash in snailmail, western union and bitcoin to make it harder to trace the links and make sure that physical traces (like fingerprints) or legal traces (like the postal system or traditional financial transfers) don't make it to the final recipient.
- fuzxi 5y agoNot only your fingerprints, but the fingerprints of the dozens of people who handled the envelope and cash. Who knows what they could do with so much information?
- fomine3 5y agoBut anyway they know my home IP unless I connect via multiple proxy or tor. I wonder is hiding PII for payment meaningful.
