Instead, the authors recommend using paid VPNs, which are generally considered to be more reliable and secure. For example, no serious privacy or security issues were found with Lantern, Psiphon, ProtonVPN or Mullvad.

And one of those, Mullvad, allows you to pay with cash to setup an account.

Can I really pay with cash?
