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.

    Is your concern using it for torrenting? Or for downloads from one click hosters?

    Are there reports of RD exposing it's users to the industry?

    For torrenting. I am not aware of them exposing users but people were saying that if they get hacked or cracked down by the police it may get problematic.

    Sorry if this is off-topic but one thing to keep in mind when obtaining torrents through any of the debrid type services is that they do not seed back. I've tested both alldebrid and real-debrid in the past year or so and they immediately hop off the swarm as soon as they are done downloading.

    I understand that they let you avoid getting copyright notices and have used them in the past for that reason. An alternative that would be much better for the community and still allow you to avoid copyright notices would be using a VPN that allows port forwarding with a torrent client like qbittorrent that can be configured to only communicate through the VPN connection. I recommend seeding back for as long as you can but 24 hours or until you hit a 1.0 ratio isn't horrible for keeping public torrents alive.

    You can only pay with kyc

    You don't need to KYC for your real debrid payment

    once you login to your account without it they know your ip

    That's a real bummer that always applies - that's why you need to have a kill switch, configure your firewall and check for leaks on a regular basis. I am always connected to some VPNs

    Well if you want to pay real debrid with crypto, you just select BTC as payment option, then you get redirected to coinbase.

    Here you can select BTC, ETH or LTC, it will then generate a payment string you can transfer funds to from every wallet, no KYC required in any way.

    Other than that, yes VPN is part of a good "OpSec" and will also grant you most probably the privacy need

    You don't need a coinbase wallet, its just one of the options, you can pay with any wallet. Just start a local node, fire up a wallet and send your funds

    What utter bullshit is this? Why is there no private way to pay?

    https://bisq.network/

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency_tumbler

    https://www.monero.how/how-does-monero-privacy-work

    https://kycnot.me/?type=exchange

    You can even buy BTC at an centralized exchange, split it into 25 wallets, throw them into a tumbler, convert to monero, throw it in another tumbler what ever and recombine everything on a Wallet you generated yourself with a node you are hosting by yourself. Do that on a Tails live OS.

    There are countless ways to get crypto anonymously. Please if you want to learn something here, I am willing to explain everything, but if you make a claim like that

    It's still bitcoin so there is still no private way to pay

    Please at least try to back it up with something that atleast comes close to an argument or something. I am going out of my way here to show you reality, just because of good will. Are you aware how long it took me just to upload those damn screenshots.

    Again, there are countless ways to get BTC or what ever crypto anonymous, but still look at your original claims

    You can only pay with kyc so it's not anonymous and even if you use a vpn with real debrid once you login to your account without it they know your ip so there is no way to use it anonymously.

    You do need kyc. Could you explain how to pay for real debrid without kyc? Vpns are not private or anonymous anyways. You don't think law inforcements can figure out who you are just because you use a vpn?

    You do not need KYC to pay with BTC, ETH or LTC on real debrid.

    Now you are telling me, you need KYC to get your hands on some crypto. Wake up. You can also buy drugs in the street, guns what ever.

    You can't pay without KYC, but thats a huge difference to your original claim.
