      Proton or Mullvad are the two go-tos.

      Private Internet Access used to be trusted (and still has good service, fwiw) but they were bought out by a company that was caught stuffing adware into their programs… So people have been hesitant to actually recommend them in the wake of that.

        Yup, try out ProtonVPN’s free tier.

        I prefer Mullvad, though ProtonVPN is competitive if you get one of their longer-term offers ($5/month). Mullvad is always $5/month, has plenty of servers, and IMO is the best for privacy (you can literally pay by mailing cash or w/ Monero and other cryptocurrencies as well). If you want to support Mozilla, you can buy Mozilla VPN, which is just rebranded Mullvad (though you’ll need a yearly subscription to match Mullvad’s regular cost).
