Mullvad, http://mullvad.net/, accepts bitcoin and monero, which are currently uncensorable payment mechanisms, especially monero because it's base chain is truly anonymous.

Of course, if you're in a state that's already started censoring information as Russia has, they also start censoring on-ramps to crypto, as Russia has begun, https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/07/15/vladimir-putin-ba...

Owning monero and bitcoin in self custody is a "rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it" kind of thing. If you wait until you need it, it's too late.




Using any kind of centralized VPN service is dangerous, they're first to be put on ban lists. Best kind of VPN is tiny personal VPS. You can run simple unobfuscated wireguard and it'll work, nobody cares as long as it stays tiny.


I don't think bitcoin is "uncensorable"... it is certainly traceable while monero not so much.
