Privacy VPN

VPN with good reputations, as well as good privacy policies, generally outside the 14 Eyes.

Note that being open source does not mean much with a VPN, as their hardware/server side is never really verifiable. If you want maximum protection, set up a VPS or use Tor or another service like I2P..

If you see any on the list that have recent bad reputations, make a comment or message me and I will remove. Same if you have another suggestion (if you have read their privacy policy).

Too many not that great options, ExpressVPN does not have open source client and does collect analytics. You cannot register anonymously. Same for NordVPN and probably most of closed source option you listed.

Mullvad VPN and IVPN are the private option ! AirVPN, Proton VPN and Calyx VPN are decent option too. But the others I am not that sure.
