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

What's going on with Proton the company?

Edit: ah fuck, thanks for the replies. Sigh.

Their CEO praised Trump/the Republican Party. He got widely criticised for it. Proton released a damage control statement but later deleted it after it made things worse.

People are now moving away from Proton as a result.

Wow! Add me to that group. I need to cancel my annual family plan.

I unfortunately bought a subscription before dickhead made his statement. Looks like I'm with them for a year >.<

I haven't done it yet, but if you cancel your and contact them, I've heard you can get a refund for the months you haven't used. Even if you cancel but don't contact, you still can use the service until the end of your subscription.

My biggest thing stopping me rn is moving my emails away from proton mail and simpleogin (switched to mailbox.org and anonaddy free) and trying to convince myself I don't need port forwarding 😭
