I wanted to try paying for Mullvad VPN using a private method (Monero). I created a wallet and went to an exchange (Kraken) to buy some XMR, but they want me to enter all my personal details upon registration. How does this make sense? Is there an exchange where I don't have to provide personally identifying information?

I mean, what do you expect?

Use P2P instead

I'm just learning about all this. Looks like P2P is what I want. Thanks

Offer a product/service on XMRBazaar, join the Get Your First XMR matrix room and then once you have at least 0.11XMR you can use Haveno

Pardon my lack of knowledge, what is P2P? Is it mining monero?

Instead of having a central server, consumers interact with each other directly. That's P2P Vs centralization.
