I just googled "Mozilla VPN pay with Crypto" and Google showed Bitcointalk as a second result in the search and redirected me to this post, which is a very good news to my mind. By the way, Mozilla is definitely not an alternative of Mullvad and with their available payment options, I wouldn't touch them because if the person uses VPN for privacy, then PayPal and debit cards are the worst option for that. This is very strange from Mozilla.

That's definitely a joke from PayPal, the way they let us to pay with Bitcoin. You can't directly deposit Bitcoin on PayPal, you have to buy it with your card, which is ridiculous.

Only reason for paypal adding partial support for bitcoin was because they had plans all along to create their own stablecoin, and they did create PYUSD.
Now they can print near infinite amount of tokens, like it happened recently, earn percentage from that, and freeze any coins they want.

I hope he didn't buy that bitcoin with his credit card or with his kyc account, because they can certainly track that and connect it with his VPN

Wait, isn't VPN usage illegal in China? I thought that Chinese citizens were punished for using a VPN in China and since he paid with his card for a VPN, it should be obvious that he did an illegal thing. Or is your friend from Western country? I've also heard that they don't enforce this law for foreigners. To be honest, I don't know what's actually true since China is very close, I've heard only rumors.

By the way, I've also heard that Mullvad is not a good option in China. Astrill and LetsVPN work well there AFAIK (but some say that LetsVPN banned them for downloading a big file). Do we have Chinese members on Bitcointalk? Might be a good idea to add VPNs that can be used in China.

I think use of VPN is also illegal in Russian Federation if you are using it to watch government blocked websites, for example bitcointalk forum 
I would not be surprised at all if something similar starts happening in EU and UK soon, since they started arresting people for making social media posts, and they announced verification for accessing internet services.
They will probably allow use of their own crap VPN ''honeypots'' that gives false sense of security to customers.

Yes, they probably don't care about VPN usage if you are not politically active.
By the way, I would love to hear what your friend says about the difference between EU and China. Is the quality of life good in China? Do people really work as much as the media says? Chinese cities look advanced and beautiful though.

Really? Russian board is probably one of the most active board on this forum. I also have some Russian friends online who aren't tech-savvy but have access to Instagram and other social medias. I don't think that VPN usage is very restricted in Russia but I'll ask my friends about that.
UK has really gone crazy. Today they accidentally released a prisoner I also saw a video how a police officer arrested a UK citizen for calling Hamas a terrorist organization This is really crazy!

Can you find a cashback deal where you live? In my country they often have 100% cashback offers for new customers, but I've never tried it. I don't like trusting a VPN that doesn't earn from me, it makes me the product instead of the customer.

Windscribe deal looks great. For $29/year I'm going to take it, no matter whether I will exten NordVPN or no
I checked my email and didn't got any offers from NordVPN yet. Maybe they will send something closer to subscription expiration date.

I didn't heard about such cashback and seems that in my country they're not offering it. Though, I must admit that privacy isn't main reason why I need VPN. I mainly need it to bypass various geo restrictions. But I wouldn't want to become product as you said.

In general yes. I don't exactly know when I will need - maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, so, it's more convenient to always have active subscription. 3 main things where I need it is streaming services, Youtube videos with geo restrictions and access blocked bookmaker website.

If you need VPN urgently for use for a limited time, you can use Mullvad, Windscribe or IVPN. Mullvad always costs 5 Euro per month and you get a discount if you pay with crypto. I've also heard that it gives you the ability to deposit any amount of coin and get the equivalent time on your account.
Windscribe is very cheap, you can choose two locations + unlimited and you get a VPN for $3 per month. Or you can also use IVPN which offers you to purchase one week's subscription or buy IVPN Light for 3 hours and 1 day.
