There's way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers

As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.

Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.

I recently made the switch from Surfshark to Mullvad. No real complaints about the actual VPN service with Surfshark, but the desktop app was constantly advertising their other products and was becoming bloated. Mullvad just does what I want it to do with little fuss.

Pity they removed port forwarding.

I use windscribe wich is rated quiet highly on some privacy blogs. Furthermore, their free plan (with discount code) is quite generous. I got 50gb per month for free. I can't verify their no log policy, but at least they weren't involved in a scandal yet, which you can't say about a most VPN services :(

I've been using AirVPN for a long time now and can 100% recommend it, they even have port forwarding.

I've used them for well over ten years at this point. Highly recommended from me too.

They used to be one of the more commonly recommended services a few years ago, but they seem to have sort-of slipped off most people's radar. I'm not sure why.

I use mysterium VPN because it has residential IPs, but remember that all your traffic is going through some random person's network.
