Are there any good VPS providers you would recommend that don’t require to much data and where you can pay with privacy friendly payment methods like monero?
I found some on google but I never heard if them before and just because they offer crypto payments doesn’t mean they’re privacy friendly.
What are you wanting to host? There are some ways to limit what they have access to, or increase the amount of work to access it, but it’s pretty dependent on the actual services.
The main thing I would like to host is a VPN. I pay for mullvad but a lot of their ips are blacklisted. Which is why I’d like a cheap vps to selfhost openvpn to circumvent censorships on some free wifi networks that I use, while also keeping my data private.
In that case, you’d be connecting to the vps without a VPN. So the company would have your ip, and anonymous payment won’t do anything about that. It would help your blacklisting problem, and your WiFi censorship problem though. Just stick with a reputable company. I use hetzner and dedipath and i’m happy with both of them.
