and some were removed.
Not sure why you've moved ProtonVPN to the "Temporary unavailable" section, but I just checked and the Bitcoin option is still there for the free account holders who are looking to upgrade... Any sign that they might drop this option [couldn't find anything in their subreddit and Twitter feed]?

Right, they accept btc when you hold an account. They do not accept btc from new users.

$4 per year, that's a crazy price. Where do you find all those juicy offers?
Lowendtalk.com. The $4 offer is still available (don't take $2/year: in my experience 128 GB RAM isn't enough to run OpenVPN).
Note that these very cheap ones are only meant for people who know what they're buying Tongue You get no support.

There is a thread dedicated to VPS services as this one, here?
I've seen several offers on the Services board, but no thread dedicated to different suppliers. I've seen very good and very bad budget hosts.

VPS IPs are usually shared by rather few people, or you're likely to be flagged as VPN/shared IP by the services you will use with it?
Usually, each VPS has their own IP. The very cheap ones use NAT, in which you share the IPv4 IP and get your own IPv6 IPs. A shared IP has benefits for a VPN: any website you visit can't build a profile based on just the IP. But it's also likely to be abused more, which will lead to more difficult captchas.

Unfortunately as I understand locations available are only in Netherlands and USA.
That's correct, although there are many VPS providers that offer different countries. Some are more expensive than others though (even from the same provider).
And that's one of the perks from a commercial VPN: they offer many countries to choose from, without much hassle.

I don't understand why so many VPNs are mainly focused on US.
If I have to guess: it's a large market, and servers are cheap there.



I've also used and tested a $4 per year VPS as VPN. It's IPv6 only (because dedicated IPv4 is more expensive than the entire VPS), and worked fine too. But it wasn't worth the hassle to keep using it, so I got rid of it.

If you're looking for a static IP, why not get a VPS and setup your own VPN with OpenVPN?
This one for instance costs $13.89 per year and allows 2500 GB bandwidth per month (note that it counts both ways when used as a VPN). I choose this provider until recently I used it for sharing large amounts of data and sent a few TB per month without problems.
It's a very interesting tip with a very attractive price thank you for sharing it. Unfortunately as I understand locations available are only in Netherlands and USA.
I don't understand why so many VPNs are mainly focused on US. It allows you to access american restricted content but most of services elsewhere geo-block american IPs.

The Static IP Datacenter package costs $24 per year and that's the only one that's close to the price you mentioned. You can check SFR10's link to see the features of that particular package. As they describe on the site, those IPs are not dedicated. They don't want to assign dedicated IPs and prefer shared ones to ensure a slight boost in privacy because multiple people will be assigned to the same IP.

I have read they are offering private "white listed" adresses for only $25 dollar a year, it's true?
Does anyone know another VPN provider offering this feature by chance?
AFAICS, the only thing that matches the above description is their "shared" data center static IP, so I'm going to assume you were referring to a dedicated IP [NordVPN has this kind of feature and it works flawlessly on windows but for some reason, I can't get it to work on Android (I had no luck with switching the protocols)].

I am not sure how I didn't see this topic before. Great job at reviewing all those brands. I am surprised to see Windscribe on the list of recommended providers. That's because they have free accounts with a decent number of servers to pick from. They were also giving away promotional accounts with 50 GB of traffic a few years ago. If it's free, you are the product, but looks like that's not always the case.

Thank you very much for this comprehensive list but unfortunately I don't see any price on the page. Do you plan to add some of them soon?
That might be because prices can change from time to time. If OP added prices, he would need to check and correct them to ensure the information is correct. Imagine seeing plenty of messages saying: Hi, your price is wrong for X, or can you correct the subscription fee for Y, etc.
You are using Windscribe? I have read they are offering private "white listed" adresses for only $25 dollar a year, it's true?

For the prices OP could check them one or two times a year and leave the date of the last checking in the topic.

You've said on another thread they were accepting 0 confirmation payments with BCH, is it still true? Which wallet are you using to deal with BCH please? I would be interest in making instant top ups. In order to only pay when I need to use it.
Yes, it still works (and takes about 30 seconds to register, although it varies sometimes). I use the Electrum Fork in a VM (just like I use the VPN itself inside a VM). Just to be sure, I don't install anything I can avoid on my real system.

Why no free plan?

"Free" services nearly always come at some cost, whether that be the time you spend watching an intro ad, the collection of your data, or by limiting the functionality of the service. We don't operate that way – at all.
But by paying 2 cents you get a 3 hour "trial". I should get myself a Monero wallet (lower fees than Bitcoin and much better than a Forkcoin) just for this.

I have paid for one month this time but I don't want to do that next month because I will look for VPNs with more servers/IP addresses.

Probably the only VPN that I currently only trust(to a certain extent, of course) is Mullvad. It's an expensive $5.5 per month
I use it too, but my perspective differs: it's cheap at €0.15 per day or about $0.04 for 6 hours. Until they accept LN I use BCH* to pay for a fresh account whenever I need it for a couple hours. You can literally pay any amount and get exactly the minutes you paid for.

*I know, I know, I don't like it either. But fees are low and Mullvad accepts payments with 0 confirmations (unlike Bitcoin).

Hello,

I would like to introduce my website: https://www.Bitcoin-vpn.com - an ultimate list of VPN providers, which accept Bitcoin and another crypto. Providers list A-Z.

I am still working on some providers to review, Also I am going to update my reviews every week, recheck providers, order services, and test services as a user. The main goal is to have a very good quality list of providers without a bulls**t, as other review websites do. The top provider is paying the most and it is not acceptable for me.

Please write here, to PM or to my email, which is listed on the website, if you know any providers or would like to add your website.

A major upgrade:

1. All providers reviewed
2. Some providers temporary moved to another category, as variuos issues were detected during my review.
3. Added a search possibility following crypto and merchant.
Thank you very much for this comprehensive list but unfortunately I don't see any price on the page. Do you plan to add some of them soon? Because it can be useful to have such a long list of VPN for people looking for less known VPNs but without price it's difficult to spot the most interesting ones.

Personally, if I try to get experience a new platform, I would prefer to use my throw away email for registration.
Registration? What's that? Cheesy

I have a better idea for this. You can identify if a VPN is reliable or not just by looking at their website, and their "Free tier" offering.

When either of these are badly looked after (a crappy website UX or extremely limited servers in free mode), its an indication that there are probably other websites out there that have better paid plans than what you can get in these places.
Thank you. It is a good trick to get an overview on quality of a platform. I bookmark it for quick checking on my side. Anyway, for Bitcoin-vpn, as a review site, I think my suggestion for them still makes sense. They should give an easier overview for guests by one way or another.

I have a different view: a "free" VPN means you're the product. Unless they use a limited free account to promote their paid account (like Protonmail), I'd assume they could be selling my data to earn from me.
In fact, there is no free lunch. Personally, if I try to get experience a new platform, I would prefer to use my throw away email for registration.

Mullvad used to offer 3 hours for free on new accounts as a promotion, but stopped doing that.

I would like to see a list of your reviews ordinarily from the best to the worst, based on your own review criteria and total review points. It is my suggestion because for people who don't have experience with VPN providers, it is difficult for them to read all of your reviews and choose a best one even just based on your reviews.

Is it possible to have it on your website?
It can be a table or just an ordinal list based on rankings.
