Personally I use Mullvad. They're a Swedish company and I'm located in Sweden. They had their servers taken by the authorities, who in turn were unable to recover anything of use. That's the best kind of audit you could get, and speaks volumes more than say, Apple self-proclaiming that their stuff is private with their source being "trust me bro."

That said, I don't think you should trust a random gay dude on the internet; my judgement is based on an event that happened here, I've no idea if their infrastructure looks the same everywhere. Look into how the companies operate, who they partner up with, who owns them, etc. and make that judgement for yourself.

Proton is my favorite (most servers to choose from)

Runner up is Mullvad and IVPN

I've been using Private Internet Access for probably 10+ yrs.

they say they don't keep logs, and I believe years back they even went to court for it.

PIA VPN offers secure and fast VPN servers in 91 countries, no logs, and 24/7 support. Protect your online identity, access blocked content, and enjoy unlimited bandwidth with PIA VPN.

and for a 3 yr plan it's like 3 bucks a month.

when I was living in the US yrs ago I was even using prepaid Visa cards to pay (almost) truly anonymously. one step removed and all that.

they also have the latest protocols, complete configurability on almost all devices, and split tunneling and port forwarding and the likes.

and no, I am not a spokesperson for them.. just a happy customer.

if they have since sold out, please enlighten me. but I'm now in a country with less to worry about.

Mullvad or Proton are both easy recommendations
