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.

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.

Sentinel Lite I am using. It's free, de centralized and open source.

It also have 4.7 star rating which might be best among all.

I got my hands on, on Express VPN. Since I am residing in UAE (where most of the VPNs are blocked), it seems a good choice. With basic version I can have it on upto 5 devices. Alternatively I can put it my router also. Servers worldwide and superfast connectivity. So I vote for ExpressVPN

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.

I use vpn for bug bounty. Express is pretty good I use the $12 monthly subscription, easy to setup, easy to use, fast. Used free proton too, but was way too slow.

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.

Read more here. dev.to/liptanbiswas/vpn-service-no...

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".

A VPN, or virtual private network, is one of the smartest ways to protect your online privacy and maintain your data security.

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?
