Even if you manage to pay for it anonymously which you can't and use a vpn with it once you connect with your real ip they already know who you are. Vpns are not private at all and you can't use one with real debrid anyways

You can use a VPN as long as it's on their pre-approved list of providers (see their list here), but, as OP said, you can't use one while doing the setup to pay for their service.
I did, but I had to pay in Bitcoin
Bitcoin is not private not at all defenetly not in coinbase, credit card payments are even more private. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou6Cflp8xGA
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=ou6Cflp8xGA
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I wouldn't use coinbase either. Not as my wallet anyway.
I know but vpns are not private if the police wanted to they would be able to get his real ip and he probably used his personal email to make the account so he is already fully identified
Not if you use something like Mullvad that doesn’t require an email to sign up and doesn’t log user activity.

Might not be perfect, but it’s more secure.
Real debrid does not support mullvad
I was able to pay with a Paysafe card which I bought with cash locally - so apart from the IP I was using to buy the account I was Anonymus
Just pay with crypto
You can only pay with kyc so it's not anonymous and even if you use a vpn with real debrid once you login to your account without it they know your ip so there is no way to use it anonymously.
You can only pay with kyc
You don't need to KYC for your real debrid payment
once you login to your account without it they know your ip
That's a real bummer that always applies - that's why you need to have a kill switch, configure your firewall and check for leaks on a regular basis. I am always connected to some VPNs
Is your concern using it for torrenting? Or for downloads from one click hosters?
Are there reports of RD exposing it's users to the industry?
For torrenting. I am not aware of them exposing users but people were saying that if they get hacked or cracked down by the police it may get problematic.
Sorry if this is off-topic but one thing to keep in mind when obtaining torrents through any of the debrid type services is that they do not seed back. I've tested both alldebrid and real-debrid in the past year or so and they immediately hop off the swarm as soon as they are done downloading.
I understand that they let you avoid getting copyright notices and have used them in the past for that reason. An alternative that would be much better for the community and still allow you to avoid copyright notices would be using a VPN that allows port forwarding with a torrent client like qbittorrent that can be configured to only communicate through the VPN connection. I recommend seeding back for as long as you can but 24 hours or until you hit a 1.0 ratio isn't horrible for keeping public torrents alive.
