There is a million and one VPN services. Are they more or less the same? Iβm a noob. Which are the ones people like here? Trying (late in the game, I realize) to improve my digital privacy. Thanks Nostr.You guys lead the way. πππ

Build your own.
Its easy.
Its cheaper.
Its private.
Check wire wireguard
Proton VPN also quite good
Proton VPN
The search engine Brave offers a VPN that I have been tempted to try. But Iβm a noob too, so following with interest. Looking for something that also offers encrypted access to AI. Hopefully a tidy little bundle
Proton, Mullvad.
They really aren't more or less the same. There was a spate of free VPN apps that were responsible for delivering malware (https://www.techradar.com/vpn/google-warns-of-legit-vpn-apps-being-used-to-infect-devices-with-malware)
Some VPN's log data, others don't. It depends on what you are trying to achieve. Privacy Guides has a page (https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/) that lists recommended VPN's for privacy enthusiasts. Spoiler, Proton and Mullvad are their main recommendations.
I've used SurfShark in the past, and it's been pretty good, but I use ProtonVPN 24/7 for the most servers across the globe, including TOR servers (Tor over VPN is best option).
Also, Proton's full suite has been GREAT for improving digital privacy. ProtonPass (now it's integrated with SimpleLogin) is a great way to up the privacy game π (Feel free to ask if you want to know more about this side of things)
