If you're looking for a VPN, check out Mullvad.
It's just €5 / $5.25 / £4.15 a month. They haven't changed that price since launching in 2009. So they've also been around a while. Does everything you need a VPN to do. And they're based in Sweden, which seems to have some good privacy rules. They also don't keep logs.

I love the ultra paranoid path Proton offers. It reminds me.of GoldenEye.
You -> VPN Server 1 -> VPN Server 2 -> TOR -> endpoint.

I like how the article boils down to, "Except for some isolated use cases, Tor is far superior to a VPN in both cost and safety," and a lot of the comments boil down to "YEAH VPNS ARE GREAT GET A VPN."
It is okay to read the article before writing a comment, guys. In some circles, it's even encouraged, because you might learn something.
Except many services are very aggressive to Tor exit nodes, namely Google and Cloudflare. Everytime I just met with CAPTCHA after CAPTCHAs, and eventually I gave up on the site.
Yeah, I should cut ties with Google but cutting YouTube on NewPipe is hard. I'm on Proton and watching YouTube is already hard.
You may want to give Freetube a try, which may avoid that issue (especially if combined with libredirect).
I've had the same experience with vpn's requiring a captcha for every second website I visit.
