Depends on use case and the country. I use Mullvad and Riseup VPN and something private (and Tor). Sometimes when a site has Mullvad in Europe blocked, it works when I try one of their servers outside of Europe. In my experience Mullvad is awesome, and you can try it for one month. And Mullvad, the no nonsense VPN provider, has had the same prize since years! (And no discounts like Proton trying to get you sign up for a year or more trying to keep you with Proton).

Proton, sometimes you might need to connect to a random server like something in Philippines for example, then you won't get captcha. If I encounter a site that flags my server then I do that.

Mullvad air and proton. Several computers and infrastructure thingys I have access too in addition to a handful of vpses. Nebula for overlay networking.

I've been using Nord VPN for years. Maybe someone can educate me on why it's not good but I've had zero issues with it and it allows me to do everything I need to for a great price.

I use both AirVPN and Mullvad, and certain websites block them too, but it depends on which country and which server you're connected too.

Geph were not mentioned yet. It will likely not solve the problem mentioned by OP, but it is VERY censorship resistant.

AirVPN, but only for its port forwarding to sail the high seas.

If you don't need port forwarding, Mullvad is my pick. Since they got rid of port forwarding, I've moved to AirVPN and am happy with them. I just dislike AirVPNs' GUI app, Eddie. I mainly use Wireguard directly for their servers.

Please don't downvote this [too much] but...

I'm not seeing ExpressVPN get mentioned here or elsewhere anymore except for the odd YouTube ad (perhaps this is already a tell-tale sign).

Their website states that they run it off RAM and they don't keep logs.

Is there something wrong with it / did something happen to it that I'm not aware of? (I've been a customer of theirs for some time now)

My aim with using VPN is to maintain data privacy across my Windows, iOS and Android devices, and be able to access geofenced media (e.g. a different country's Netflix library), with minimal to no access issues during browsing or streaming. What's the go-to these days?
