How to pay for a VPN from Russia: MIR cards, SBP and crypto
Foreign services have stopped accepting Russian cards. Here are the working ways to pay for a VPN from Russia in 2026.
Why payment is difficult
Since 2022, Visa and Mastercard cards issued by Russian banks no longer work abroad. Most foreign VPN services accept payment only with a foreign card or through PayPal, so paying for a subscription from Russia simply fails.
The answer is to choose a service that supports Russian payment methods from the start.
Payment methods that work
- MIR cards and SBP β pay with a Russian card or by QR code through your bank app, with no intermediaries.
- Cryptocurrency β an anonymous option that does not depend on banks or sanctions.
- Telegram Stars β Telegram in-app currency, bought directly inside the app.
- Lolz Market β payment from the marketplace balance.
How to pay for a subscription
- Choose a plan β one month, six months or a year; longer plans cost less per month.
- Pick a convenient payment method from the list.
- Right after payment you receive the configuration: a file, a QR code and a vless link.
