Hello, I'm new to all of this. What should one be looking for in a VPN? Is there a certain VPN more people recommend than others? I guess I'm just not really sure where to start here.

First thing I look at is location of HQ; from this depends how much privacy they can garantee. If it's in the US, that's an immediate nono.

I use Proton (Switzerland bases). Works great.

Using Proton as well. Got rid of google

Proton is a good service, but their years of reluctance to include more anonymous payment methods such as Monero and the inability to register an account from an anonymous IP address without a phone number makes me question the relative benefit of using them as a VPN.
