The great thing about Mullvad is you can use OpenVPN instead of their client if you want. And those guys really know what they are doing.

Even better, with Mullvad you can now use WireGuard instead of OpenVPN, for considerably better performance and possibly better security. I've configured my EdgeRouter Lite to route all wifi traffic on my default home network through WireGuard for a couple of weeks and it has worked very well.

You can use open-source OpenVPN with any VPN service that offers OpenVPN connectivity. You can also use AirVPN's client Eddie, which has a pretty decent built-in firewall.
Just adding another vote for Mullvad. Tried a few others, have had the best luck with Mullvad (bandwidth, # of servers, rock-solid connection, etc.)
I use OpenVPN to connect to PIA both on my Linux machines and Android.
Same applies to IVPN, FWIW.
