What Is VPN ?
Virtual Private Network. But easily said - its just a gate that lets you hold your network traffic from your ISP or other spies, let you hide from hackers and let you access sites you could have been blocked at. VPNs currently also allow you to change IPs often and choose from many locations so you can look like everyday you are in different space.
VPN for Crypto Users
Security should be important for everybody, you dont want to leave your IP here or there for somebody to track you or look u pfor you. But lets say you have big BTC wallet or STEEM one. If steemit.com site which is centralized ever got hacked, your IP could leak and somebody could make you target of attacks. Same goes for BTC or other altcoins which may pass your IPs while sending transaction by brodcasting nodes. TLDR; you have cryptos, add this layer of security.
Traceless - My Pick
No logs.
There are many VPNs on the market, i have tested loads (if not all?) that say they dont store logs (the most important thing in VPN company imo). But this one got my heart the most.
No angel investors
Big VPNs who have investors need to cover their asses. There was many cases when services saying they dont log, been logging stuff to be sure when police enters they will just hand logs and dont have business crushed. In VPN business i believe the smaller the company then better and this is how this guys do it. They funded company themselves and work together without looking for investors. They upgrade company with money company makes.
Easy to Use App
If you are skilled you can just run OpenVPN client or protocol trought other things but usual users just want to get .exe on WIndows and be secured. This app out of all i tested was least buggy, and easy to switch between running VPN or not. Other apps often fucked up DNS setups or freezed whole connection when turning them off. Currently there is no app for OSX.
For other systems Linux, OSX, iOS you need to use other interface to run it.
Try For Free or Pay With Bitcoin
Test if for free. Sure bandwith is limited so you cant leech torrents or so, but still you can hide yourself on IRC or while browsing Steemit ;)

I use VPN sometimes to log or register on IP blocked websites and services but always wonder if it is trully safe.
Don't you mind your data crossing a third-party? What maseaures you take to minimeze this danger?
And, of course, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely give Traceless a try. So far their website looks promising. Is it possible to buy the VPN with Steem via Shapeshift when I just convert Steem to the Bitcoin payment address?

Yes due to Blocktrades/Shapeshift you can pay with STEEM everywhere that BTC is accepted - so here also :)
