It costs less than that to get a good privacy-protecting VPN (njalla, mullvad) and to set up all the *darr stack on your laptop. Just saying.

Where can someone get unbiased technical reviews of privacy-protecting/privacy-focused VPNs? Paid is fine, but every time I read a VPN review I feel like I'm about to get my pockets picked.
I know that this is not a proper review, but I just gave you the names of the only VPNs I used and trust. I prefer njalla because they don't even require any special app and just give you the configuration files if you want to use wireguard or OpenVPN.
I have no opinion on njalla but every VPN I've used will give you OpenVPN configuration files to use, I actually think it is pretty common.
Right, but there are also all those other providers who wants you to use their own app. "Being able to connect only with a configuration file" is a necessary but not sufficient condition on my checklist.
