Reply to comment by huggarn in LPT: Opera has a built-in free VPN by ssossotte

Thanks again for that tidbit :)

So what's a good VPN? Where I don't sacrifice my privacy away.

self hosted OpenVPN. You can host it on AWS, behind your home router, really anywhere. On top of that you add PiHole and enjoy internet free of ads and annoyances.

You can also use things that are heavily marketed for a few years already like Nord, Surf. unless you're trying to run darknet drug market should be fine. These are convinient, as long as they're not owned by chinese company you shall be fine.

WireGuard is infinitely easier to configure nowadays.

thing is , you don't really need vpn, unless you're going to sit at MCD on their "free" wifi and do work related stuff, or banking for that matter.

ProtonVPN is based in Switzerland and banned in China. Do with this information what you will.
