hide.me VPN is a VPN service run by hide.me that accepts cryptocurrency next to card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer. Crypto options listed on the pricing page are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Solana, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Polygon and TrueUSD; according to the payment help article, USDT and USDC are only accepted on the Ethereum network.
Plans and prices. Besides a free tier that needs no account, there is one paid plan (Premium). The 1-month term costs 11.99 EUR per month; on the longest term the price drops to 2.69 EUR per month. Premium allows 10 simultaneous connections on more than 2,600 servers. There is no free trial of Premium, but a 30-day money-back guarantee applies to the first order. A paid account requires an email address.
Privacy. The privacy policy states: "We do NOT keep logs of your VPN sessions, browsing behaviour, websites you visit or any activity related to your VPN connection." A non-persistent troubleshooting log (random username and internal IP) is erased every few hours. hide.me says it runs RAM-only servers, has had its no-logs policy audited by Securitum, and publishes a transparency report; the report states that no data could be handed over on request because no logs are stored. Payment details are not stored by hide.me itself, and crash reports are only collected with consent.
Apps and features. hide.me offers its own apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, plus router, TV and browser-extension options. Supported protocols include WireGuard, OpenVPN and IKEv2. The apps include a kill switch, split tunneling and DNS leak protection with hide.me's own DNS servers; P2P traffic is allowed. Dedicated IP addresses are not offered.

What users report
All reviewsRatings on platforms are not representative and sometimes manipulated; they never count as evidence for facts. People mostly write when something goes wrong: hardly anyone posts “KYC was easy and worked right away”, but ten users with verification problems do, often because a step was missed. So we never weigh criticism on its own, only against other offers in the same category. Only the average ratings on App Store, Google Play and Trustpilot count towards our score, damped and compared within the category. Single reports and community posts do not, so the score cannot be swayed by bought reviews.
