The 10 Best VPNs for Cryptocurrency Payment in 2018

  • Jun 20, 2018

Cryptocurrencies have revolutionized the way we purchase goods and services. Recently, a boom in the monetary value of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, managed to increase interest in cryptocurrencies from individuals around the world.

Businesses have started to adopt the use of virtual currencies by integrating payment methods that support cryptocurrencies. If you’re on your way to buy a VPN service, you can pay for it through a cryptocurrency as well.

Paying for a VPN through a cryptocurrency makes sense as you get a VPN to stay secure online so why not use a payment method that does exactly that – keep you anonymous.

Purchasing a VPN through a virtual currency keeps your online data safe from prying eyes and leaves no traces of your transactions, unlike physical money which leaves a ‘paper trail’ of your trades.

What to look when buying a Bitcoin VPN?

With all variables in mind, here are our top choices for VPNs that not only support Bitcoin but also let you make secure bitcoin payments around the world.

However, don’t go around trusting just about every VPN service. Make sure that the VPN service:

  • Accepts cryptocurrency
  • Maintains no logs of online activity or IP address
  • Provides strong encryption and IP leak protection
  • Has a dedicated customer support
  • Offers fast speeds and reliable connectivity

The 10 Best Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency payment VPN in 2018

1. PureVPN

PureVPN boasts a wide range of servers with more than 750+ servers based across 180+ locations. This service is available for all major platforms – Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, router, Amazon Firestick, Android TV, and many more.

With AES 256-bit encryption as standard, users can securely make financial transactions without worrying about someone snooping on their online activities.

Most importantly, users who trade in cryptocurrencies rank PureVPN as the best VPN for its high-speed smooth performance.

2. ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN comes packed with handsome features making it a reliable option for cryptocurrency payment.

Like PureVPN, ExpressVPN employs AES 256-bit encryption to secure your online activities. Once connected, you can make secure online payments, be it banking or crypto related.

3. NordVPN

NordVPN is a globally renowned VPN service which commenced its operations in 2012.

Like other VPN services, NordVPN too allows you to unblock websites and securely carry on with your online activities. From social media sites to transferring cryptocurrencies to another wallet, you’re good to go.

4. VyprVPN

VyprVPN, based in Switzerland, allows users to make use of its 700+ servers based in 70+ locations.

All you have to do is connect to the VPN service to enjoy online anonymity. Once connected, you can stream online whilst anonymously making cryptocurrency payments around the world.

5. AirVPN

AirVPN is operated by activists and hacktivists who believe in online privacy and anonymity.

AirVPN doesn’t boast a strong infrastructure like PureVPN and is only equipped with a few servers. The VPN offers satisfactory service along with cryptocurrency support for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash.

6. CyberGhost

CyberGhost is a reliable VPN service widely known for fast speeds and online privacy.

It’s worth noting that some countries do not favor cryptocurrencies which is why you need a VPN that maintains your online privacy.

CyberGhost offers 256-bit encryption that encodes your online connection and offers features which keep you protected online whether you’re making cryptocurrency payments or just accessing your social accounts.

7. TorGuard

While TorGuard is made for torrentors, it can be used for online streaming, unblocking and achieving online privacy.

Being a torrenting VPN, you can expect hundreds of VPN servers. However, since a major chunk of users use it for downloading torrents, you may find some load time on servers – something you can’t afford to have when making crypto payments.

Nonetheless, it’s a reasonable VPN service that provides support for cryptocurrency payments.

8. PrivateVPN

PrivateVPN allows you to send cryptocurrencies directly to exchanges and other wallets without the need of any middleman.

As with other VPN services, PrivateVPN too offers 256-bit encryption (much needed to secure cryptocurrency transactions).

9. SaferVPN

SaferVPN is a VPN service known for online streaming. Just recently, they’ve shifted their focus towards online privacy and security.

While there are reports of disconnection, SaferVPN struggles to provide steady connectivity while offering a service which allows you to securely making cryptocurrency payments.

10. VPN Unlimited

VPN Unlimited is an average VPN service which provides access to restricted content, protection from data theft, malicious software, ad-tracking, etc.

While its core isn’t to provide secure cryptocurrency payments, it does offer the functionality (something you’ll rarely find in VPN services).

How to Choose the Best VPN for Cryptocurrencies

When choosing, just make sure the VPN service offers:

  • A large number of VPN servers
  • Exceptional online speeds
  • Instant connectivity
  • Live chat support to cater any issues
  • AES 256-bit encryption
  • Online security and anonymity
