PIA users for many years

ProtonVPN user here for a very long time.

• No log policy
• known for privacy
• based in switzerland

and my favorite of them all, has great core servers, secure servers (tor relayed etc), and my favorite is torrenting/p2p servers. I also use their mail server. The only thing i don’t use is their cloud drive and calendar (as i host my own).

When it comes to just any VPN, i also host my own so i can access my stuff from outside.

heard PIA is also good, mullvad would be my second choice if i wasn’t on protonvpn.

I roll my own using a VPS in a different country that has a policy that shits on DMCA. Since all I need is to evade copyright letters when torrenting. If you need the utmost privacy, go with Mullvad or IVPN. Both do not have an account tied to anything and they don’t save payment info. They also accept crypto if you’re into that too. No port forwarding sucks, but I don’t really bother with it on my VPS and still can torrent.

Don’t know about ProtonVPN’s policies, but AirVPN, I’m pretty sure lets you torrent without getting hit with copyright notices. But the former two I mentioned above are the absolute gold standard if you want privacy. Do keep in mind you’ll also need to use a browser that conceals your fingerprint too. That’s almost just as, if not, more important than just getting a VPN and connecting to it. Librewolf is what I tend to go with because it has a hardened user.js out of the box so that you don’t need to keep up with changes upstream from Firefox as far as Mozilla killing/changing features go.
