The only service that comes to mind for me is NordVPN, which is based in Panama.

Is Panama the big brain move? If so, why aren't more privacy services doing this?

What kind of privacy laws are good in Panama? Any that aren't? Does it have a history of bowing to Five Eyes requests?

Panama is fully in the pocket of Corporate America. Think Panama Papers.

So if you’re rich, it’s pretty private until someone hacks the firm you’re using. If you aren’t as rich as people who wish you ill, it offers no protection.

No what I was asking. I updated my questions to reflect my intentions more.

I kind of answered your later question too — Panama bows to the highest bidder. I wouldn’t consider them a privacy haven of the sort we’d be looking for; they specialize in corporate privacy.
