Con: Many steps and lot of money spent in fees.

Amount to pay ~80EUR (95USD).

Fees calculation:

Coinbase : with bank transfer, marginal (0.15eur). Then there is the money lost in the exchange process but that's applicable whatever the currency, crypto or not.

Binance : Marginal change fee (0.1%, 0.08eur) but large withdrawal fee (4eur).

Monero : I can't find clear information around the fees but I'd expect to pay 1.30eur.

Total fees ~ 6eur (7.5%).

Amount I’ll need to convert on top of the net price of the VPN service + a little bit just in case there is some fee miscalculation.

Do you see any flaw in the process or have a better strategy to pay anonymously?

After the next protocol upgrade will be 8 times less then 0.2 eur.
