Currently... NordVPN, ProtonVPN and about 2000 company VPNs. Because I can I use 3-5x multihop configurations.

However, Nord has made my poop list with ads to windows app and social logins. It doesn't appear to be any worse than others for routers and manual configs, but trust has been broken and I won't be renewing when my (3 year) sub expires in March.

I switch between Mullvad VPN along side IVPN at times.

treenutz68 If using a VPN, it's best to swap out your DNS Servers from whatever the VPN host uses, to an encrypted DNS referrer, like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Quad9 (9.9.9.9) or Adguard (94.140.14.49).

If your VPN is on 100% of the time then there's no point configuring private DNS on your browser, like Brave, or using the private DNS option under Internet settings on your Graphene phone. Your VPN connection will cover it.

      What are the reasons for this ? Whether the VPN is still active or not, use the DNS provided by the VPN.

            Xtreix I'll use commercial VPNs but personally I don't trust them, probably Mullvad being an exception. In much the same way as I wouldn't trust Google's DNS 8.8.8.8.

              TrustExecutor I don't always use VPNs. But using Cloudflare for instance is not a unique solution. There are millions of Cloudflare users out there to blend in with.

                Probably Mullvad is the best option, but i got a Black Friday deal.
                2$/month for 2 years, for 10 connections.
                It's 4.8$ per connection for 2 years. It's really cheap.
                I share is with 4 others, 2 connections / user so it comes down to under 10$ for 2 years.
                Still better than no VPN.
