Ask HN: What's the Best VPN?
As already mentioned this is highly dependent on why you want a VPN and what's most important to you.

The original site is now defunct [0], but has been merged with SafetyDetectives, and so now the full comparison can be found here [1].
Without any other details, that is your best place to start looking.

Depending on the bad actors you are trying to protect against, cycling through ones you self-host and one's you subscribe to are best.

Distributed web will be the evil-do'ers elimination and is coming sooner than you think.
**thank god for all the silicon valley gurus (I use that as a universal label) keeping the world free, educated, and in touch with the truth.

tailscale?
One you run yourself
Self hosted VPN on DO or Linode (where you're paying with your credit card) won't protect privacy, right?
Who do you want privacy from?
Government/ISP
