In case you haven’t heard Liberty Reserve is no longer in business. They were shut down after U. S. and Costa Rican authorities arrested the founder on accusations of money laundering. If you are currently using them for VPN payments then you’ll need to find an alternative. We’ll take a look at some of the options available for privacy services like Hide My Ass, Private Internet Access and ibVPN. All of which accepted Liberty Reserve.
We’ll start with Private Internet Access. If you need to change payment details they have quite a few options. For the highest degree of privacy we suggest you consider Bitcoin. Private Internet Access has been accepting Bitcoin and promoting the payment method for a long time. Here are some more payment options:
- Bitcoin
- PayPal
- Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover
- Amazon
- OK Pay
- cashU
The Hide My Ass team released a post on their blog in regards to Liberty Reserve last weekend. Current members can continue to use accounts funded but will need to change to a new method of payment for future renewals. You can read their related blog post to learn more. Here’s some other payment options for HMA:
- PayPal
- Credit card
- Wire transfer
- WebMoney (virtual currency)
Members of ibVPN have several other options for payment. They supported Liberty Reserve but also have a full list of payment processing companies and options for recurring and prepaid plans. Like Private Internet Access, ibVPN also accepts Bitcoin. Here’s a look at several other options that ibVPN offers:
- Bitcoin
- PayPal
- Credit card
- AliPay
- WebMoney
