VPN prices, plan lengths and device limits

These are prepaid amounts, not monthly instalments. Prices retain the original currency, with approximate US dollar equivalents in parentheses. Device counts are simultaneous connections. All dollar amounts are USD.

NordVPN, hide.me and Surfshark include bonus months in the first term. CyberGhost’s example covers six months. Mullvad’s total is calculated from its flat rate and crypto discount. Tax, extras and the final crypto invoice can change what you pay; see each provider’s card below.

VPN 101: what does a VPN do?

A VPN sends selected traffic through an encrypted connection to a VPN server. Websites reached through it see that server’s public IP address. This can help on an untrusted network or when you need a connection from another location.

	1. Your device Traffic enters the VPN connection.
	2. VPN server The tunnel runs between your device and this server.
	3. Website The website sees the VPN server’s public IP.

HTTPS separately protects the connection between your browser and a website. A VPN does not guarantee streaming access, stop every form of tracking or make a crypto purchase anonymous.

Choose the VPN before choosing the payment

Start with how you will use the VPN: the devices you own, the locations you need and the features you rely on. Check that the chosen plan supports those needs, including its app and connection limits. Then compare the full price, refund terms and available crypto payment options.

1 Platform & devices What to compare Choose the app for your operating system and count the devices you will connect at once. A full VPN app, browser extension and router configuration can cover different traffic. Check the exact app and plan. A platform listed in the directory is a starting point.

Windows macOS Linux Android iOS Browser

2 Locations & features What matters to you? Start with the server countries you need, then check the features on your device. The directory’s network-size bands count locations, not measured speed. A “no-logs” or “Anonymous” label is not a privacy certification.

Kill switch Blocks traffic if the VPN drops. Split tunneling Choose which traffic uses the VPN. Dedicated IP Check availability and extra cost. Multi-hop Adds another VPN hop. No-logs policy Read the policy and supporting evidence. Streaming Check services and regional restrictions.

3 Connection options VPN protocols The category lists several connection technologies. Check compatibility with the device and network you intend to use. These icons identify options; they do not rank their security or performance.

WireGuard OpenVPN IKEv2/IPsec L2TP/IPsec SSTP Also listed in the filter Shadowsocks Proxy V2Ray/Xray Proxy tools Shadowsocks and V2Ray/Xray are grouped separately here: they are not interchangeable VPN protocols.

Explore these options in the Cryptwerk VPN directory. This guide compares personal subscriptions; a business VPN can connect staff to a private company network.

Is the longer offer worth it?

Compare the amount you will actually commit and the next renewal term. NordVPN’s introductory example includes three extra months; its renewal price applies to 12 months. PureVPN separately displayed a 27-month Standard promotion at US$58.20 before tax. A lower monthly equivalent is useful only if the full term suits you.

Cryptwerk company pages also list merchant offers. Recheck expiry, eligibility and the checkout total before using a promotion. A short paid period can be worth considering where crypto payments are non-refundable.

From plan selection to working VPN

A crypto payment and VPN activation are separate stages. Follow the steps below to check the order, send the correct payment and confirm that the subscription is ready to use.

	1. Choose the plan Confirm time included, taxes and extras.
	2. Open crypto checkout Select an available payment method.
	3. Check the invoice Match asset, network, amount, address and expiry.
	4. Send payment Allow for withdrawal fees; keep the order ID and TXID.
	5. Confirm access Check paid time in your account, then set up the app.

A VPN’s crypto checkout may use a separate payment processor. A reseller gift card needs redemption and can have region or account restrictions. A crypto-funded card may settle to the provider in fiat. Check which route you are using and who handles the refund.

Payment sent, but access is missing?

	Transaction pending: check the correct network and the invoice’s required confirmations.
	Invoice expired, underpaid or paid with the wrong asset: contact the named processor before sending more funds. Recovery is not guaranteed.
	Invoice paid, account inactive: check the account and subscription history, then send the VPN provider your order reference and transaction ID.

Keep payment references private. Support does not need your wallet recovery phrase or private key.

Does crypto payment make the purchase anonymous?

Payment, account and VPN traffic leave different records. Several providers ask for an email; Mullvad uses an account number. A processor can associate a transaction with an order, and an exchange can retain withdrawal records. Check account requirements and the provider’s logging policy as well as the payment method.

A simpler way to choose a VPN

Use your requirements to build a shortlist, then check the exact offer.

	1. Filter Set platform, location and feature filters.
	2. Shortlist Compare the plans that meet your needs.
	3. Verify before buying Check the app, full price and payment terms.
