What VPN have you switched to after the Mullvad situation. I have looked at nym and ivpn. But don't know if they are any good.

You can benefit from both a commercial VPN provider as well as at-home hosted.

My Asus WRT router, which I flashed with Merlin firmware, has a feature called “VPN Director”, I can connect to 5 different VPN clients at a time and forward my devices connections individually through each one.

My Asus router also has the option to host a WireGuard Server which i then forward through one of the VPN clients with the VPN director.

Essentially creating a multi-hop network, the flow goes a little like such;

Device -> WireGuard Tunnel -> Home Network -> WireGuard Tunnel -> Commercial VPN Server

The commercial VPN is my endpoint therefore what the internet sees when I browse however I also benefit from my PiHole which handles my DNS queries an blocklists.
