Hello people, I've been thinking of getting a RealDebrid account thanks to the recommendation of some folks here but people are saying that the RealDebrid is keeping logs on their users so I am trying to get an account using a VPN. The issue is that if you are using a VPN the only payment option is through Coinbase which I have no idea how to use.

My question is that how have you folks have paid for it anonymously and what you'd suggest for the payment.

You can use a VPN as long as it's on their pre-approved list of providers (see their list here), but, as OP said, you can't use one while doing the setup to pay for their service.

I did, but I had to pay in Bitcoin

Bitcoin is not private not at all defenetly not in coinbase, credit card payments are even more private. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou6Cflp8xGA

I wouldn't use coinbase either. Not as my wallet anyway.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=ou6Cflp8xGA

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I know but vpns are not private if the police wanted to they would be able to get his real ip and he probably used his personal email to make the account so he is already fully identified

Not if you use something like Mullvad that doesn’t require an email to sign up and doesn’t log user activity.

Might not be perfect, but it’s more secure.
