Is it a good thing to buy online?

Online is fine as long as you don't use your personal card. Use the LLC's debit carrd and a virtual address. I've done it for years.

Honestly, buying online is way more convenient. Just make sure the LLC is actually registered in a state that allows anonymity, otherwise what's the point?

Depends what you're buying. Small stuff? Cash. Bigger stuff where you you need a receipt for taxes? Online with the LLC. But yeah, watch out for data brokers scraping your info.

Nothing is truly anonymous online. They'll track you thrugh browser fingerprints, shipping address, even the way you type. If you're that paranoid, buy locally with cash and wear a hoodie. (kidding... mostly)

TinFoilHatGuy has a point though. Even with an LLC, if you're shipping to your home, your neighbors see the packages. A virtual mailbox helps but it's not perfect.

I just use a PO box and a pseudonym for the LLC. Never had an issue. But I'm not doing anything sketchy either.

LazySusan, a pseudonym for the LLC? You mean the LLC's name? Or you're using a fake name as the contact? That might be fraud depending on what you're doing.

No, I mean the LLC has a registered agent service, and I use a business name that doesn't include my personal name. Not a fake name, just a business alias. Calm down.

I've bought plenty online with my anonymous LLC. The key is to use a privacy-focused browser and a VPN, and never link your personal email. Also, don't buy from sites that require a phone number for verification.

VPNs are owned by the same companies that own the data centers. You're just moving the trust around. But yeah, it's better than nothing.

At some point you have to accept that perfect anonymity is a myth. Use common sense and don't overcomplicate it.

Appreciate the replies, everyone. Seems like online is doable with some precautions. I'll look into a virtual mailbox and a dedicated card.
