Hello, Im new in the mentor group. I have some questions, hope that you can help me, i will be very very grateful.
I suppose that everyone here are using darks and EMIs, and also some of you are registered with merchant accounts (to receive payments online). And if you are using these things, i suppose that you are hiding your connection, right? And not only for privacy/security, also because, for example, if you are living in US and you use your local connection with your EMIs/merchant account, you will be banned. You need to match your IP with your darks (based in Cyprus, Seychelles, etc). I'm right??
In that case, what are you using to use your EMIs and login with your merchant accounts?? Are you using a VPN or a VPS? or some other things? What are the services that you can recommend??

Yes that's how it works and what people are doing with darks usually.

No not really, there is nothing that stop you using any IP address from Europe for this purpose.

Use a VPS to login that's much easier, for instant from this provider, kamatera.com you can rent them for a few hours, a day or as long as you like and create new ones instantly.

Are you totally sure? Also with the payment processors or merchant accounts? Im asking this because like one year ago Stripe closed one of my US accounts just because i was using my account in other country (country that they dont support). They start to asking questions about that, then they review my account very closely and find that i was registered with an US llc and US EIN but was not a us citizen, so they said they cant support my business anymore. This was my legit and white account and was Locked for that silly thing. Thats why im asking this, if i open an account based in darks, i dont want that they start to review my account closely if my ip its different from my darks.

Just a vps and im ready? I dont need any other things or use a vpn inside a vps? In the past i managed many paypal accounts. I usually use a vpn with an ip virgin and also some firefox addons to avoid any leaked Connection. Any of these things its not necessary? Im ready with the vps?
You need something to hide your local IP and connection to the VPN, make a search on the forum, I don't remember the thread where it was, but there is one here that links to several providers.

First of all, thank you so much for your help. It seems that you are the only who want to help me with this LOL. And yes i was searching, but there are many info and i dont know who have the correct info. Also some threads are a little old.
I just want to know one last question.... its neccesary to change the mac address?? Im sure that is not possible for a website to track your mac address (if they are a legit website), but to work with darks and these things. Do you think that is necesary?
Websites can't see your mac address so they can't track it.
I don't recommend changing your mac address on a VPS unless you have permission.
Most of the time hosting providers use static arp so IP addresses can only be used with a certain mac address (the one of your server).

So at the end, just a vps is the way to go in your opinion?
I was reading and I see that most of the people here recommends just the VPS. Not any combination like a vpn inside a vps or something like that. Some guy recommends the use of tor/tails but was a very old thread.
If you're worried about browser fingerprinting or any other leaks based on your hardware, lookup Whonix. At the very least, use all free software including your OS. Ideally, also use a free firmware like Libreboot.
If using a VPN, find one that does not keep logs, and validate their claim from court cases in which they were ask to provide them.
Using Tor is inherently more secure because it does not require you to trust a VPN provider, and does allow you to choose the country of your relay node. However, some services block Tor relay nodes.
Personally, I would find a good VPS, remote into it using a Tor proxy and manage your accounts from there. This way, your VPS knows nothing about you and your EMI knows nothing about you using Tor. Do not ever leak personal data on the same browser.
