I wanted to try paying for Mullvad VPN using a private method (Monero). I created a wallet and went to an exchange (Kraken) to buy some XMR, but they want me to enter all my personal details upon registration. How does this make sense? Is there an exchange where I don’t have to provide personally identifying information?
The only exchange I can think of might be Pancake Swap, but I’m not sure. You could trade coin with anyone who gets theirs from actual miners. I think this is probably the only way to fully avoid KYC.
I would not pay for a VPN, personally.
