@ Former Lurker,
The VPN is the issue. The IP. Did you try validation without the VPN? Should work fine.
Everyone's blockchain info is stored and analyzed. IF. BIG IF, LE is gonna dump funds and human resources into the forensiics it's not going to be for small fish. I do see your point but do you think you'll receive a knock on the door because of questionable spending habbits?
Above all else, use a crypto payment method you feel the most comfortable with. Crypto curriency is new for most people and it can be a bit of a challenge, even stressfull getting up and running then making that first transaction. What I layed out above, a tutorial of sorts, works for myself and many others but may not be for everyone. As was suggested prior, It's probably best to take the time to educate yourself and maybe watch some how to videos on how Bitcoin transactions are performed. The more you watch or read the smoother your first transaction will go.

Not exactly something that I want my information to be associated with. I know that you can use a reloadable card or whatever but I still think this is a really bad idea.
