Windscribe now accepts cash for VPN subscriptions — but admits the process is 'the slowest, riskiest way to pay'

Canadian VPN provider Windscribe has introduced a cash payment option for its one-year Pro subscription, allowing users to mail physical currency to achieve complete financial anonymity for their service.

Key Points

  • Users can pay for a one-year Windscribe Pro subscription by mailing $69 USD in cash to the company.
  • The payment method is designed to eliminate digital trails, such as bank statements or credit card records, associated with VPN purchases.
  • Windscribe warns that cash payments are non-refundable and carry risks of loss, theft, or damage during postal transit.
  • The option is restricted to the annual Pro plan and excludes custom plans, monthly subscriptions, and seasonal discounts.
  • Windscribe joins other privacy-focused providers like Mullvad and Proton VPN in offering an analog payment alternative.

Why it Matters

This move highlights the growing demand for extreme privacy measures among users living in restrictive regions or those seeking total detachment from the traditional banking system. While the company acknowledges the inherent risks and inefficiencies of physical mail, providing this option ensures that financial anonymity remains a viable, albeit inconvenient, choice for high-security users.
