https://privacy.com/ I've been using them for around 6 years now.

They link up with your bank account and generate as many virtual cards as you want that are locked to the first vendor you use them on so if say McDonald's get their card data stolen it won't be able to charge the card for anything other than McDonald's.

They also make their money from the card fees so they manage to be both free and not sell your data.

Just don't use a VPN on their site or they will lock your account for days pending review for "suspicious activity"

I stopped using them after that

Oh that sucks, ive been using a vpn for a long time without issue, i can see why youd stop using them.

That's strange. From the moment I created my account I've always had a VPN on

I have been using them for years and always use a VPN (on my home router) without issue.

You really should state up front that this is USA only

You can also set limits per day, month, year. Or make cards single-use. And use random names instead of your actual name if you want.
