Okay so is there somewhere on the Internet that I can get a VPS with crypto? Because I'm not going to use traditional payment methods to access this. EDIT: Thank you to everyone for your recommendations. I shall find an anon seedbox. I don't mind if it's nuked. I imagine I'll just pay per month and losing one month's spend won't hurt.

Mullvad will even let you pay with cash (stuff dollars into an envelope).

I highly recommend https://mullvad.net/ https://mullvad.net/

  I don’t think they sell VPSes though

  Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not storing this data locally. I want to seed it from the Internet without a connection to me except for SSH. Essentially, how can I get a seedbox with crypto. Though it does strike me now that any such service will be primarily used by criminals.

    I'd recommend SeedHost in that case!

  Is it even possible to do this effectively using Mullvad after they removed support for forwarded ports? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36113215 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36113215

A couple lists: https://kycnot.me/?t=service https://kycnot.me/?t=service (not just hostings) https://bitcoin-vps.com/ https://bitcoin-vps.com/ (an extensive list for ones that accept BTC, most accept other coins too) There are hundreds of VPS hosters that accept crypto, but the important part is that a lot of them are not happy about abuse reports either way, so you'll probably have to use a VPN (like Mullvad) on the VPS itself to not get it suspended :)

There are some server hosters that you can buy with a locally bought paysafe card. They mostly cater to young gamers that want to host private servers but don't necessarily have access to the banking system yet. They will however very likely nuke your server the second they get a dcma notice. So you need a vpn setup on that server too. Several providers offer bitcoin payment, with mullvad you can buy scratch-off tickets on amazon, which would be the most anonymous option. Of course setup has to be done on a public wifi and requires some custom setup. Alternatively, there's /r/seedboxes over on reddit where most vendors accept bitcoin and get you a complete setup.

The service you're after, I think, is a Seedbox. Feral Hosting is once such service that accepts payment via crypto. They're not a VPS in the traditional sense, but they give you a slice of a server, with a torrent client pre-installed.

That is the mentality that keeps the world down. Perhaps Great Depression 2.0 will set our priorities straight.

You're looking for a "seedbox" which is essentially the torrenting equivalent of a VPS

Njalla has VPS and VPNs. I'm a happy VPN customer, they've been excellent.
