I host my own VPN on a VPS. This way I am sure all the logging is truly disabled.

For torrenting No vpn instead get a cheap vps service who don't give a damn about copyright and install wireguard.
Got an example of such a VPS? How do you know they don't give a damn?
Lowendtalk forum has lot of such providers
Mullvad, it's extremely popular among privacy advocates
It's just really goddamn expensive. I use purevpn, whose subscription costs me €14 per year for identical servixe (obviously less rigorous privacy-wise, but I'm not doing anything beyond torrenting)

AirVPN since about 8 years. Highly recommended. If you want something flashy that wins design awards looks elsewhere :) from a technical perspective they are absolutely top notch with every feature you could possibly wish for.
Windscribe.
They usually run a really good sale around Black Friday (US).
I have been happy with NordVPN. It is able to give me nearly 100% of my 1.5Gbps connection, and with almost no latency difference I'm able to game without turning it off.
I was starting to wonder if I was the only one here still using Nord lol

It is. I like it so much. I don't need to turn it off when I'm gaming. Watching videos.
"I'm setting up a self-hosted server. Is VPNHouse suitable for this?
Yes, VPNHouse is great for self-hosted setups, you can use their open-code on the Github. It offers strong security and reliable connections
Njalla works very well for me since the time it was (unfortunately) called ipredator
Hmm, I use expressvpn but don’t see anyone here mentioning it. Is there something I should know about them?
I was thinking the same.
It might be a little pricey compared to the rest? It works very well for my use case and I've never been bottlenecked by the VPN which is nice.
Self hostes free OpenVPN 😎
Honestly, if you're happy with the service surfshark had been providing, why roll the dice and switch? Stick with what's making you happy.
ExpressVPN and I've got it running on my router, which makes things really simple for the rest of the network.
I’m surprised that no one mentioned IVPN
PIA
Reason = Transmission
I am collecting Linux.iso :)
None, get a $5 vps and setup openvpn
Windscribe
What do people think of Mozilla VPN? That's what I use currently.
I have several VPSes around the world each with OpenVPN.
I'm using Safeshell because it's highly secure and has excellent stability.
I use NordVPN, audited no-logs and they have static IPs to buy
None. Why would you use a VPN ?
