We have generally avoided recommending VPN providers for privacy since it is a thorny proposition, although they are clearly useful for censorship circumvention. We recently mapped out what a VPN provider needs to do to gain users’ trust.
Why not use your own VPN? For example using Wireguard VPN is as easy as 1-2-3. I can make a demo about it, if there are interested people. I have also written an article a few years ago: Using Wireguard VPN.
