In my opinion NordVPN is the best. But if you want to compare plans, look on the bestvpnservice, they have good comparisons with all popular vpns, current prices, pros and cons of each.
Thanks for the insight, valuable! 👍💯
As for me I setup my own VPN server on my AWS account running openVPN as the base software, I have found it to be very very reliable more so than other premium VPN used in the past, If I get enough people interested I will make a tutorial on how to setup your own VPN server as my first youtube video and share the link of course.
Your question inspired me to write an article on how secure using VPN is. Some may think using VPN will solve all their privacy and security concerns.

I am discussing if using VPN will really solve the privacy issues. Also, I talk about some of my concerns of using public VPN. Do read that sections titled "Security concerns when using VPN".
ProtonVPN if you want something safe, something that doesn't keep your logs.
Otherwise you can also create your own (never done) but there are plenty of tutorials
I have been using Mullvad VPN for past two months.
Pros:
1) Its Cheaper
2) Completely Anonymous (You don't need to create an account.)
3) Supports Wireguard.
4) Almost negligible speed loss.
Cons:
1) Have to refresh wireguard keys (limits to 5).
2) App is still a little wonky.
I would like to see this video as well, that would be very interesting for me, because I am working a lot with vpn but I never knew how it works in a more detailed way. So it is a good opportunity for me to understand at least a little part of it. Also, it would be a very good idea to start making reviews on different VPN providers. So if there would be somebody so search for a vpn, you will be the man who will help them. You can check vpntesting.com/reviews/protonvpn and see the list of good VPNs.
I got an email this past week about Mozilla VPN. Has anyone tried it yet? Thoughts?
I subscribed to it a week ago
For $5 per month and being allowed to pay monthly, it's a really good deal.
Their connection is pretty stable and I personally trust Mozilla more than I do other companies.
Thanks! Didn't known that
IMO this is controversial. VPN providers for sure are under more scrutiny than residential providers. The majority of websites is using HTTPS. What is your threat model?
From the big public ones like PIA, Nord and Express, I'd go with PIA. It works well, including using openVPN, is reasonably priced and doesn't spend all its money on advertising.
Express and Nord spend huge amounts on ads, meaning that less of your subscription is going into actually making a good service. Express pays "influencers" to shill for it and Nord constantly has clickbait "1/3 off if you act in the next hour" type ads. They're all pretty evil in that respect, so I don't have confidence that any will be particularly honest in the course of their usual operations.
That said, I've had reasonable experiences with any of them.
Nord takes longer to start up for me, but once going allows me to switch geographic location faster. That's useful for testing geolocated feeds and so on, particularly on mobile.
I've been using Private Internet Access :)
It's got me covered with servers all around the globe, a ton of configurations.
Uses OpenVPN and Wireguard. When using a refferal link it's also decently priced, costs much less then all the hype brands.
