Proton has been good for me. CEO seems like a dick but I’m gonna be honest it’s getting pretty hard to support any tech company that doesn’t have a dick CEO.
Mullvad is zero log and located in Sweden, and accepts payment in crypto to reduce traceable privacy footprint (which frankly is one of the real, relevant use-cases for crypto to further legitimate privacy needs).
Proton, mullvad, air VPN, depending on threat case. NordVPN for torrenting specifically, but not as good for privacy etc.
The most important thing is to check who owns the VPN (as the previous commentor said, stay away from Kape tech) and where it’s based (e.g., 14 eyes), as well as independent security audits and the company’s public history with government requests.
Good lists of vpn providers would be appreciated.

Yeah but one of the guys that owns it is the primary funder of that nutty far right political group.
Also take cash over mail
I’ve been happy with IVPN since mullvad CEO donated a bunch of money to far right parties
I had trouble with IVPN. They didn’t have many countries/servers, and ended up being blocked.
Currently on ProtonVPN, and seems to be OK so far.
AirVPN has been great so far. Moved to it from Mullvad.

I recently switched to windscribe.
They’re a good, solid wireguard provider.
