What VPN should I get for Linux? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'd prefer to get a VPN to avoid the risk of my internet getting shut down, but I'm not aware of what the options for Linux are. I figured this would be a good place to ask.

Safing.io portmaster with SPN. It's better than any of the other recommendations so far.

I really like ProtonVPN with the unlimited plan. Comes with their premium email, drive, and password manager for $8-12 a month (depending on what plan length you buy)

Using torguard. Works well

I used the free version of Proton for a while, but when I decided to start paying I went with Surfshark. They were the best deal at the time and their client works well with the Windows, Android and Linux devices I have used it on. I have encountered some annoying "prove you are human" prompts when using Google Search so I mostly use DuckDuckGo.

Proton and Mullvad have the best privacy record, but I want to suggest a different tool. VPNs are really only useful for tunneling and adding an extra layer of anonymity, there's no total assurance they won't rat on you or get breached.

Real-Debrid is a way to torrent without risking ISP shutting down. Other debrid services exist, I just prefer real-debrid. The debrid service does the illegal part and you download over high speed. It's also more available since you can think of it like a very large scale seedbox. There's also implementation for most media center apps.

I've never heard of this before, and it sounds interesting after a cursory search online. Why the downvotes?

People get weird about VPNs. I think it's the way that they're marketed as security solution which is not really true these days.
