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.

You are now seeing your "welcome message" that you need to confirm; check the checkbox 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.

  1. It's a bit too complicated to set up. Wouldn't a VPN like ExpressVPN do the same and more? (http://expressvpn.biz)
