Put a little money in a reputable crypto wallet, and pay for mullvad for 5 euros a month and pay by crypto. Mostly crypto is used to scam people and launder money, but here’s an example where it makes sense due to anonymity
Or you can literally mail cash to them for that 5 euros for a month of service, still anonymous
And their service is one of the only ones that adopts and/or champions newest methodologies of avoiding censorship or tracking
Here are their recommendations on using their service in restrictive areas

And here are examples of their tech efforts to ensure they stay ahead of the curve
Things like multihop https://mullvad.net/en/blog/multihop-now-available-on-android
DAITA https://mullvad.net/en/blog/daita-version-2-now-available-on-all-platforms
Quantum resistant encryption https://mullvad.net/en/blog/quantum-resistant-tunnels-are-now-the-default-on-desktop

And the less regulation, the more this shit happens and people don’t have the time or energy to fight it. Probably never happens on their corporate accounts, because then it’s retained corporate law firm vs retained corporate law firm.
But standard retail customers? Even if only 10% don’t fight back, huge profits, and the CEO can buy a bigger jet.
Reminds me of this
