obviously the shitty VPNs like NordSurshark, TorGuard, Tunnelbear, cyberghost and PrivateInternetExpress suck…pretty much every VPN that’s part of some giant conglomerate sucks ass in terms of privacy and security
But then there’s iVPN, Mullvad and ProtonVPN and even Adguard VPN which do very little to no advertising at all and allow their products to speak for themselves. I mean…Kitboga and RionaPoison are sponsored by Proton, but Proton is a good company that takes their security and the security of their swiss-law-abiding users very seriously.
Don’t be a scumbag and Proton won’t snitch on you.
The VPNs you characterise as “shitty” aren’t necessarily a bad choice; they’re cheaper than the legitimate privacy VPNs. Mullvad is famously 5€ per month, Proton is 4.49€ per month, but NordVPN is 3.09€, Surfshare is 2.19€, and PIA is 1.79€ per month.
If you’re really just here to pretend you’re in another country (rather than privatemaxing) or hide your torrenting activity from your ISP, the cheaper options can be a perfectly legitimate choice.
Mullvad don’t try and lock you in with any autorenewal shenanigans and were the second service that I know of to offer payment via xmr.
The first was ivpn but their speeds were trash.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
