Probably related: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1317642

edit: actually, maybe not. But similar deal, and more context than just a shopping cart.

Offer is still running - further information on the specific offer than just the WHT link can be found here: http://pwyw.vpn.sh

Nice find on the WHT link though :D

That's a much better link, thanks!

No worries :) feel free to share it around, as it's likely to disappear before 2014 starts!

Sadly it's only 20GB traffic but then again for £1 per year that seems okay.

Why do they require all the personal data for the account including place of residence?

Got one for myself. I admit I don't really have a real use for this, but the offer is good and they accept bitcoin!

A great idea and a great offer. One thing that always worries me though: my first welcome email included my account password (that is, the one I used when signing up as opposed to the one needed for VPN use) in plain text. Isn't that a big no-no for security?

This is currently in review - however generally this is seen as a "no-no" if the passwords are also stored in plaintext - which they are not. Hope this helps a little, and the fact that it's in review may give some confidence that it's actually being looked in to.
