MODERATORS
The link leads to an error 404.
Have you tried doing specifically that and/or do they claim you can do specifically that? I tried doing the same thing when making a Tuta account and it wouldn't accept prepaid cards, though they do have a 3rd party source you can pay cash or Monero for gift card codes, giving true anonymity
I think the issue is that Bitcoin hasn't been anonymous for a few years now (unlike Monero).
Remove the period at the end of my link, most clients should automatically, but in hindsight not the best place to punctuate anyways.
Personally, no I have not tested it, however it should be the same as a regular debit card, which I know through testing that they accept, and a quick internet forum search says they do accept Visa gift cards.
If you generate a brand new wallet, convert your monero to bitcoin, and then pay Proton, there's very little to trace back to you.
