ivpn is the only one on the list privacy-guides recommends other than mullvad and proton - obviously their recommendations aren't law but a good starting point for looking into things yourself
I've been using nym for a few month now. It generally works and I'm convinced by the project. However, they are still implementing features and there are often small issues (slow connections, no servers found, needs new permissions on Linux after update, etc.)
I use self-hosted on a cloud bought by crypto, but it's primarily because my relatives living in a country with almost all VPN solutions and protocols blocked, so you always need to figure everything out yourself and try something new.
What cloud service would you recommend? Maybe I'm over thinking I but I was looking into offshore VPS. But don't know if I really want to go through it all.
