I know absolutely nothing about cryptocurrency.

What's the easiest, and safest (as in won't get scammed, not too concerned with identity but it would be nice), way to pay via cryptocurrency with a credit card? Mullvad lets me mail in cash which is what I was going to do but I'm not a patient person.

Setup a coinbase account. Link you bank account and buy enough of whatever cryptocoin they accept.

Once you own the coin, go to the buy page on the VPN site. It will give you a long address. Use coinbase to send the correct amount of coin to that address. Depending on various factors, the transaction will process nearly immediately, or within an hour.

For an added layer of anonymity I would move what you buy on coinbase to binance and trade it for another currency. So for example buy litecoin on coinbase, move to binance. Trade that for Bitcoin and pay using that.
