It feels better with no condom. Private trackers have no STI’s.

Mullvad or IVPN. Some VPNs like Perfect Privacy do leak your IP via DHT and other torrent features, even when full lockdown mode is on. You can search 'torrent leak test' to verify yours doesn't. I found out with a 2nd DMCA warning from my ISP.
ProtonVPN/Mullvad. This is the post number 288471 talking about this. Can we put it somewhere un wiki?
You could self-host wireguard on a cheap VPS using something like YUNOhost. You would be limited to the one IP address but you could also host other useful stuff on the same server like email, website, Nextcloud etc for no additional cost. On a slight tangent, you could also check out seedboxes or even TorBox.
Thats good but you need to blend with othet people.
This will be an unpopular answer but I use Nordvpn mainly because during Black Friday sales you can get it essentially for free using a cash back portal. The start of the sale last year, which I missed, was offering over 100% cash back. They’d pay you to use it!
Others are better but if the level of protection you’re looking for is “Comcast stop sending me piracy warnings” this’ll work.
I'm also a Nord user since it's super simple and effective. Paid less than $100 CAD for 2 years which I think is decent. I'm open to alternatives for a noob though.
Count me in that group too. Nord just works for everything I want. Geoblocks, doubleVPN, etc. And it's super affordable. Yes, O hope they had a more user friendly way to use it on Linux, but I guess we can't have it all after all.
Google Fiber.
They don't give a fuck.
This is a thing that story rpeats :
"Until they do.".
Astrill. It's not cheap, but it's excellent. And works in China and other countries with strong internet blocking capabilities.
I use Mullvad through Tailscale. If you already use Tailscale it’s a no-brainer
No port forwarding though.
I really really wish I could use mullvad but I had to switch to air vpn for port forwarding and then later to proton to get higher speeds (Airvpn maxes at roughly 600Mbit/s while proton can handle 2Gbit/s+) and port forwarding.
