Can anyone recommend any SSH tunneling or VPN service providers that offer:
1. TOTAL ANONYMITY (no logs & don't comply with LEO)
2. Accept Bitcoin
3. Good bandwidth (Fast speeds)
I've been thinking about using an SSH tunnel or VPN service to add an extra layer of security to TOR. I was looking at http://www.privacy.li
But wanted to know if anyone else had any experience with them or knows of something better?

would it be possible to use such a service with liberté linux?

Another vote for them... Just works.

I can vouch for these guys too. Solid, and they take bitcoin!
-
does privateinternetaccess.com allow you to go to the vpn from the router? as in multiple devices going through the vpn.

Check out any of these guys, they come recommended -
Mullvad
bolehvpn
airvpn

Private tunnel from OpenVPN uses an open-source platform.
-
Private Tunnel by OpenVPN only accepts credit card payments, so good luck staying anonymous with your payment!

AirVPN offers #1, #2 and #3. They also offer OpenVPN over either SSH or SSL, which makes your VPN connection undetectable and unblockable by government or private authority. You can go with a privacy.li or whoever else offers SSH, but there's not much you can do if the destination node doesn't support it in kind for end-to-end encryption.
There's a whole list of VPN providers which respect privacy and anonymity on TorrentFreak. A couple of posts actually. Check them out. Plenty of reviews there.

Does paying a VPN compromise your anonymity? It's a legal service, and the fact that your credit card information is used for purchase doesn't compromise the anonymity of your browsing, right? Am I missing something?

Google "lulzsec" and "sellmyass".

I'd rather go with an SSH tunel, get a cheap vps (check lowendbox.com for example) in the location you want with either a VCC or with a provider that accepts bitcoin, and then torify your connection to that box (torify ssh -ND port user@host) and use that as a socks proxy in your browser.
That way you'll have a clean, dedicated IP, and could stay totally anonymous, as you'd be connecting to the VPS through TOR...
It depends what you want to achieve though.. VPN -> TOR -> INTERNETS would make it so that your ISP can't know that you are using tor. TOR -> SSH SOCKS PROXY -> INTERNETS would make it so that the clearnet website you visit can't know that you are using tor...
Good luck :)

I chose one from this list
http://torrentfreak.com/vpn-services-that-take-your-anonymity-seriously-2013-edition-130302/
TorrentFreak decided to ask a selection of VPN companies some tough questions.
To be critical though, we all know how reliable a companies statement are right... What benefit is there for a company to answer truthfully and risk losing potential customers. Since we can't look behind the scenes we can only judge by the exceptions that might come to light after the fact of information being handed over and ending up in court documents perhaps eventually in the public domain.
Truth be told I do not know of any way of independently as a non authoritative authority to determine the credible and non-credible providers when it comes to a non-logging, no compliance provider. Just keep this in the back of your mind and take additional precautions and not only rely on VPN to conceal yourself.

Has anyone used the amazon cloud. I know the official Tor website promotes it to set up a bridge. No one would know you were using a bridge as long as you don't give other people the IP, unless your ISP was using deep packet inspection. The cloud is also free up to 15 gb a year.

Yes and no. If you pay someone using a traditional form of payment, then you're right: it'll be known that you're using a VPN, when you signed up for it, how long your term is, and the exact type of service you signed up for. The solution? Pay with Bitcoin ONLY. Then there's no way anyone can ever find out who you are. Just make sure you use a Tormail address or something similar if you choose to leave any address at all.

That's why you always have to go on the VPN provider's rep. Have they ever cooperated with LE in any part of the world? Have they ever handed over information to anyone at all? Do they respect whistleblowers and tailor their service for them?
Trust is something that's earned, as anyone doing business on SR knows very well. There are a few VPN providers which have really earned the trust of their customers around the world. Search for them and you'll see. Either way, use Tor over OpenVPN and you'll achieve the highest level of anonymity that's currently known on the internet.
