Using a free VPN and saying it’s slow, is probably the issue. Try mullvad, airvpn, or something. Pay for one month. And then test your system speed.
Every business needs to make money, so if you’re not paying any money for the service, you’re the product. So those free VPNs are monetizing your traffic somehow. So not very private
I was considering paying for the cheapest possible windscribe plan. 3 euro for 2 countries and unlimited data, is tagt Good? Can’t really pay much because I’m a teen and parents are very anti vpns. They monitor my revolut card and I don’t have and source of income yet
I would recommend mullvad. It’s only €5 a month. They are an exceptional provider. They take crypto payments, they take payments via the mail, you can definitely avoid using your credit card.
Check their website for details. But basically you mail a Fiverr to them. With the account number. That’s it. Yeah there’s a risk, but it’s a relatively small risk.
Mining crypto on your laptop is probably not going to be super efficient, so you’ll probably spend more money in electricity than you’re going to make in mining. But it would hide that expense from whoever is monitoring you.
Cryptography is open source, so it’s available for anyone to use, but the central exchanges probably have age limits. So you could mine it yourself with no problem. And spend it that way. Or use mail or get a scratcher or a variety of other things.
You could check localmonero.co for your local area, seeing people selling monero for local things. But that’s a lot of overhead as well.
My best bet is likely mail, I’ll buy some stamps on Monday. I don’t pay for electricity ATM so j could get something from mining. I’ll check the website

Why is your VPN slowing you down? Which VPN are you using? Are you using wire guard?
Used to use riseup, not anymore. Proton on all devices, have to use 1 at time coz free mode is 1 devicw

How would mail work? Mail here is really slow. Wouldn’t there be a risk of the money being taken on the way?
Wait, I could mine on my laptop, is there any age requirement for crypto?

Probably the simplest thing is just use the mail
