Making payments online is one of the biggest challenges to privacy. These cryptocurrencies provide transaction privacy by default (something which is **not** guaranteed by the majority of cryptocurrencies), provided you have a strong understanding of how to make private payments effectively. We strongly encourage you first read our payments overview article before making any purchases:

### Monero nodes

|

For maximum privacy (even with a self-custody wallet), you should run your own Monero node called the [Monero daemon](https://docs.getmonero.org/interacting/monerod-reference), which is included in the [CLI wallet](https://getmonero.org/downloads/#cli). Using another person’s node will expose some information to them, such as the IP address that you connect to it from, the timestamps that you sync your wallet, and the transactions that you send from your wallet (though no other details about those transactions). Alternatively, you can connect to someone else’s Monero node over [Tor](alternative-networks.md#tor), [I2P](alternative-networks.md#i2p-the-invisible-internet-project), or a [VPN](vpn.md).

There are numerous centralized exchanges (CEX) as well as P2P marketplaces where you can buy and sell Monero. Some of them require identifying yourself (KYC) to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. However, due to Monero's privacy features, the only thing known to the seller is *that* you bought Monero, but not how much you own or where you spend it (after it leaves the exchange). Some reputable places to buy Monero include:
