Just do a google search for "VPN providers". Or you can just use wifi, preferably one open to the public and away from cameras. Just make sure you search for "changing MAC address" to learn how to keep your network adapter from giving away its unique address.

Spoof your mac address and go to the nearest Starbucks or McDonalds and do it there.

Better yet, don't use Mt. Gox. There are other options, even for people outside of the US.

Well said Banjo - if you use MtGox I'd suggest that you send the coins to Bitcoinfog before transferring anywhere near this site. Alternatively use my cash in the mail service to get your BTC in total anonymity.

All the best,

V.

If you're in the UK, I'd probably go with Valdimir. He's got good ratings and his services are as anonymous as you can get. Because he's a person, not a bank, he doesn't have to report or record transactions, so there's no record of you buying Bitcoins (which in itself isn't illegal, but it's best to have no record of buying the number one currency used to buy drugs online).

Are you in the US? Just use bitinstant's direct to bitcoin address. It's as fast and convenient as you can get.

   Hey Vlad, Newbie here that probably made some mistakes.  I have not purchased any bitcoins on the web only through a vendor right into my Sr wallet.  But lets say he is busy for a few days and I was thinking of buying some BTC on the open market where would I buy them and transfer them the most stealthy way? I accidentally made a mtgox acct before I knew it was not good to make one at home.  I have not done anything with it other than make the account though. All info would be helpful, I need to get some BTC loaded first thing tomorrow morning thanks man.

Ever since when did bitinstant offer desposit >> btc address? No doubt! About the only problem I can see are btc fluctuations. It doesn't look like bitinstant allows you to set btc price limits like getbitcoin did.
