I've been using NordVPN for a long time now. Never had a problem with it but this one is apparently not recommended as I've learned quite recently by reading through various sites (they do have a no logs policy but also gather a lot of metadata and were never "battle-tested" afaik). When my subscription ends I'll try one of the recommended ones.
I only recommend non-political services so Proton is not one of my favorites.
The user who posted this got deleted but can someone elaborate. Is it tied to Swiss government or something? They are a direct democracy so pretty decentralized. I was considering this one or Mullvad or IVPN in the future.
