First off, sorry if this has been asked a million times in this community already, but the only post I found on this topic when I searched was over two years old.

I’ve been using PIA vpn for the past two years, but my subscription is ending soon and I was thinking about switching providers. I’m a fairly basic vpn user so I’m not overly concerned about advanced features and bells and whistles. I have a limited budget to work with, and I run Fedora os. Does anyone have any recommendations on what vpn I should be using?

I’ve seen Mullvad mentioned frequently, but it’s a touch expensive compared to others. I’ve heard some good things about Proton vpn too, but I know there was a controversy with their CEO not long ago. I’ve also just read something about IVPN and they look good, but I’d like opinions from more sources. I’m open too all other suggestions as well. Thanks for any and all thoughts!

    Few good things:

    1. They don’t have ability to keep logs (even if they wanted)
    2. Their wireguard speeds can keep up with fiber (800mbps with 1gbps fiber)
    3. I’ve not seen any connection drops.

    Downside: No port forwarding, this I’ve remedied with headscale server and tailscale clients. Port forwarding is needed if u want to access your home network from outside
