A beginner’s guide to paying anonymously online

Step 1, Get some private money

The simplest starting point is acquiring a little Monero through a peer-to-peer venue or a no-KYC swap aggregator. Keep it in a wallet you control.

Step 2, Choose services that don't ask who you are

Use the directory to find an email provider, VPN, hosting or SMS service that accepts crypto and requires no identity. Filter by what you actually need.

Step 3, Mind the metadata

Private payment is undone by a leaky signup. Prefer services with no email requirement, Tor availability and no IP logging, exactly the flags we surface on every card.
