Everyone talks about buying Monero, but what is better than buying money with money? With Monero, we have an incredible opportunity to build parallel economies that can empower the individual, and able businesses should create opportunities that allow willing participants to earn Monero, independently of the state.

As big Monero supporters, it is why we introduced the AriaVPN Referral Program and want to invite the community to check out our proposal and consider participating. We seek influencers and website owners who can help us promote our VPN service in exchange for a 30% sales commission. Each time someone buys a VPN plan via your referral link, you'll receive 30% of the value of the plan, have to option to redeem your balance at any time, and get paid within 24 hours.

Besides offering the opportunity to earn, as a new VPN service provider we hope we can become the community choice for those who regularly use VPN services. Please hit me up if you have any questions or feedback, and thanks for stopping by and checking us out!

Yes and no, and I'm tired of hearing Mullvad from Monero folks. They just have a different pricing strategy, which is only cheaper for shorter-term plans. The prices you see at AriaVPN are for new customers, but there are discount coupons available up to 30%, our loyal customers get up to 30% discounts on plan extensions, and we already match Mullvad on long-term price plans without discounts. If you only had any idea how much they pay for servers vs what's their organic traffic, at the top of which they claim to pay for targeted advertising, it might make you question how can they possibly make a profit, and whether there's a hidden business model. At least I do, and I don't like what I see.

Since when does Mullvad offer new customers lower prices? Pretty sure it's always one price.

Are you thinking of ProtonVPN, which does offer discounts for new users?

I'm talking about AriaVPN, not Mullvad. And yes, they have flat pricing strategy and they don't do discounts. There are many providers and each do it differently, so do we :)

I misread your sentence about "the price you see is for new customers" because the previous sentence was about Mullvad with no distinction afterwards. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks, sorry, I see the ambiguity, could have been clearer (already edited).
