Mullvad doesn't try and lock you in with any auto-renewal shenanigans and was the second service that I know of to offer payment via xmr. The first was ivpn but their server speeds were trash.

That's true. Mullvad will even let you send cash by post to them which is definitely not something you can do with other services.

However, in terms of private payment options, you can always use BTC's Lightning Network with the other options if that concerns you.

I believe Proton VPN allows for cash mail in. https://protonvpn.com/support/payment-options/

It seems you're right. I did not know that.

Love it. If you want to stay anonymous, might as well go the whole way. Granted TOR should not be used with a VPN.
