Title: Trustworthy VPN providers that accept BTC (or other anon form of payment)
Post by: moxycotton on July 13, 2012, 06:55 pm
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, trustworthy VPN provider that accepts Bitcoins and that I can use TOR through? I want to set this up for added security. I know my set up right now is entirely safe, but it is a bit more of a hassle then I'd like (for reasons that I can't disclose for security purposes).  Any help is appreciated!

Why do you want to use TOR through a VPN?

Seems a bit overkill if you ask me....

As a vendor, I'd like to have as much security as possible :).

For the best security possible, TOR inside a virtual machine (that you only use for silk road) with TrueCrypt, PGP & Bitcoins.

Since TOR already encrypts all data to onion sites, a VPN actually isn't adding much extra security at all.

Anyway, good luck!

Ahh, thanks for the answers. I already do that stuff :). I gotta read the other security threads, though, for sure. There are plenty of interesting ones.
