and then click


ATTENTION: Please make sure to place your order after logging into the VPN control panel @ http://vpn.hidemyass.com
and selecting LibertyReserve as your payment processor.

We will not accept payments made without our system (manually sent payments).

On this first payment page, you can check where the payment is going to, and the amount to pay.
If that is correct, click "Login".
On this second payment page, you need to enter your LibertyReserve account login info.
First enter your account number (starting with an "U", like "U75938562"), then your password.
Below you need to enter the captcha code (0982 in this example).
Verify that everything has been entered correctly and click "Next".

You are now seeing your "welcome message" that you need to confirm; check the checkbox and click continue.
On step number 3, you can see your account balance in USD / EUR / GoldGrams.
Now you need to choose how you want to login. In this example, we choose to login with our "Login PIN" (usually 5 digits).
Enter that login pin on the next page and click "Continue".
We're almost done. This is now the step where you need to
select your currency and enter your "Master Key" (usually 3 digits).

Do so, then click "Preview".

Then you should select "additional transfer info", meaning that LR wants to know the reason of your payment.
Since they don't need to know, select "other", or anything you like.
Click "Preview" again.
This is the final, last page.
You just need to check if everything is correct, e.g.
  • payment destination
  • amount
  • fee
  • memo

  • private payment (yes/no)

If everything is OK, click "Confirm" and your payment has been sent. That's all!
