VPN Services Accepting Crypto Payments: A 2026 Selection

VPN services that accept crypto payments are a standard tool for remote workers and travelers. Not all VPNs accept crypto, and not all have a convenient payment setup. Here are several options that work in 2026.

Mullvad VPN

€5/month. Accepts: BTC, BCH via BitPay. You can also pay with cash sent in a postal envelope.

No account in the usual sense – you register with an arbitrary 16-digit number, no personal info required. Maximum privacy among mainstream VPNs.

Servers in 30+ countries. No logs, open-source client. One of the few VPNs verified by independent audits.

ProtonVPN

$5–10/month depending on plan. Accepts: BTC via BitPay.

Part of the Proton ecosystem (Mail, Calendar, Drive). Account tied to email, which is less private than Mullvad, but convenient for integration.

Free tier available but with limited servers. For serious use, you'll want a paid plan.

iVPN

$6–10/month. Accepts: BTC, XMR (Monero), stablecoins via CoinPayments.

Approach similar to Mullvad – anonymous registration with an account number, no email required. XMR support makes it one of the most private options.

NordVPN

$3–12/month. Accepts crypto via third-party processors (BitPay, CoinPayments).

Large server selection, extra features (Meshnet, Threat Protection). But requires email registration – less private than Mullvad/iVPN.

Surfshark

$2–13/month. Accepts: BTC, ETH, USDT via CoinGate.

Inexpensive, unlimited device connections. Great for families or multi-device setups.

What to Consider When Choosing

Regular price vs. first-year price. Many VPNs offer the first year for $30, then renew at $80. Keep in mind that after the first year, the price will increase (or you'll need to cancel and re-register).

Servers in needed countries. If you need access to specific regional services, check whether the VPN has servers in that country. Not all VPNs have servers in, say, Turkey or India.

Speed. Mullvad, ProtonVPN, and NordVPN are consistently fast. Cheap, lesser-known VPNs often slow down during peak hours.

Logs. A declared "no-logs policy" isn't always true. Mullvad and iVPN have undergone independent audits; others rely on the company's word.

Paying with a Virtual Card

If a VPN doesn't accept crypto directly, a virtual card from VirtCardPay (or similar) is a simple workaround. The service accepts regular cards, and you top it up via USDT – resulting in a crypto payment without the VPN provider being involved in crypto.
