I'm sorry if there is an FAQ somewhere. My VPN is about enter it's yearly billing cycle and I thought I would come over here and see if anyone had a better suggestion. I've been using IPvanish for the last 10 years and have been pretty satisfied. I picked it by going into the darkweb and seeing what the criminals recommended to each other.
If anyone has other suggestions or tales before I renew, I would love to check it out.
I recently started using WireGuard hosted on elest.io platform
It works realy well, we are a 4 people company full time using it and i pay around $15usd a month with a dedicated ip
It's self hosting made easy

You can set up split tunneling yourself if you run the wireguard/OpenVPN daemon manually and move the "mouth" of the tunnel to a separate Linux network namespace.
OVPN is a 1-to-1 feature clone of mullvad (wireguard, multiple device keys, crypto payments/cash in the mail, no usernames/emails, etc.) AND has port forwarding. Switched to them when mullvad sadly closed their ports, no problems since. Can't live without port forwarding.
+1 for OVPN. I switched to them from Mullvad for the same reason. They are also one of the more trustworthy VPNs in my book ever since they actually won a court case proving that they actually practise what they advertise.
IVPN, Mullvad, or Proton. Criminals aren't necessarily smart, I remember a ghost phone that criminals thought were secure and it was a honeypot. Shoulda used Graphene for free.
Windscribe or Mullvad.
I personally use Windscribe and it has some really good features and so far they have a really good reputation in privacy circles.
