have used proton VPN and mullvad...

both seem fine to me.  good speeds when connected and plenty of server location choices.

Well there are a few kinds of VPN:  one that you run on your router or raspberry pi or whatever to allow you to access your files on your own network server securely from a remote location,  a kind of personal cloud, you might use a protocol like Open Vpn or Wireguard.

You can also get a paid or free vpn services that mostly prevents your ISP from seeing what you are accessing (but not how much), and also hides your origin and identity from all but your vpn service provider (depends on the records they keep) like Proton VPN or NordVPN. 

It depends what you want to do.

Been using NordVPN for a 1yr and it's the free version without any problems.  :cheers:

I've been using the premium version of Proton VPN for years, never had a problem.  I run it on my pfsense router and route everything through it except for IOT stuff and TV's that need open access to the internet.
Do not PM me for technical advice - start a thread.

Been thinking of doing the same on my pfsense. Glad to see l am not the only one here using pfsense. Main reason I used it is vlan for my BlueIris network.
