So what ARE the current "good" VPN services? (lemmy.zip)

I've used proton for a year or two now and it is fine. Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi and it sort of kind of works with gluetun (the rotating port is annoying but it still is a forwarded port).

But I've increasingly been annoyed with Proton as a company and am looking to migrate my email/domain to fastmail in the very near future. I COULD continue to just pay for the vpn (60 USD a year is pretty reasonable) but also feel like this is a good opportunity to "shop around"

Checked the wiki and other FAQs (which all basically crib from said wiki) and they all basically boil down to proton or mullivad... except that mullivad apparently stopped allowing port forwarding which is a bit of an issue for any torrents and the like.

So are there any other good options?

Thanks

It would be more accurate to say some people are moving away. The majority of their users are quite happy where they are.

"Time to find a CEO who has yet to publicly express their fascist sympathies..."

The irony of saying something like that when you're using an ISP with Trump supporters on the board of directors is wild.

To be clear I'm parodying the people who think there are corporate safe havens where they can vote with their dollars.

Ah, I should have guessed that from the quotes, huh? That was my bad.

No worries, we're all so sarcasm-and-irony pilled given internet culture and current events that I should have been more explicit too.

I am not, but it took me a year+ to move from Gmail to Proton after having a Gmail account since the start of the service, and after i was more or less settled in now comes this scandal, i will move but it will not be immediately, need to plan it well, and also likely use a custom domain to not need to change the address in the future

If this is as bad as the scandals with Proton ever get, I'll be quite happy.
