On: DNS traffic can leak outside the VPN tunnel on And...

[NoImmatureAdHom]

You would use a VPN if...

- You don't want your ISP to see your traffic, but don't care if the VPN provider does

- You can get pseudonymous VPN service (pay with crypto), but not pseudonymous ISP, and you want pseudonymity

- You live under a repressive regime that censors internet access and want to get out (digitally)

- ? More?

[avidiax → NoImmatureAdHom]

- You want to masquerade as being in another location to avoid or test geo-restrictions, e.g. view the BBC outside the UK

-You prefer the privacy or consumer policies of another jurisdiction (e.g. EU, Switzerland)

- You want to avoid or flout copyright or anti-pornography policies

- You want to evade or avoid IP-based limitations, such as only downloading 1 file per IP per 12 hours.

> You can get pseudonymous VPN service (pay with crypto)

It can be anonymous with some cryptocurrencies (Monero, Bitcoin Cash with CashFusion, etc.)

[NoImmatureAdHom → hggh]

I think it would still be a pseudonym since you have credentials to log in to the VPN that remain stable, no?

Anonymous would be like: minute-by-minute you drip Monero into the VPN in exchange for service. It could track you by your IP, but nothing else, and you can change your IP.

You can throw your account and create a new one instead of renewing your "subscription". There's no price penalty for doing that.

Mullvad also accepts cash mailed to them with just an account number to put the cash towards.
