Hi! So I have had surfshark for a while and been generally quite satisfied. They do everything I need them to do this far with no fuss and bundle in some handy other services as well.
My annual plan expires in a couple of months and I’m curious what else is out there, as I only started SF because it was heavily discounted at the time. From a new provider, I just need privacy, the ability to torrent totally public domain content, and a static IP. Do you have any suggestions for other options worth considering? I just like to have options. Thanks in advance!
I use IVPN, paid for with crypto over Tor. It’s been amazing so far, but to make things easier I’ve taken to deploying my own “proxy” to it in the cloud (I cache DNS among other things).
Njalla works very well for me since the time it was (unfortunately) called ipredator
I host my own VPN. All I need when I am out and about.
I use protonvpn due to me getting it with my proton unlimited bundle, and on the plus side with some scripting I can use the proton NAT-PMP forwarding with my qbittorent to get port forwarding while… distributing and acquiring Linux isos.
Any on this page https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-vpn
PrivacyTools should be taken with a grain of salt these days. There was apparently a massive falling out.
Long story short the main guy went MIA and the rest of the crew and community decided over many months to create a new site since the main guy had the keys to the kingdom. Shortly after the move the guy came back and accused everyone of being against him. It’s a whole drama thing. But the fact that PrivacyTools now highly recommends NordVPN and ExpressVPN tells me all I need to know and I’m sticking with the new PrivacyGuides
My own Ubiquiti VPN on the USG I have in my rack. #selfhosted
What do people think of Mozilla VPN? That’s what I use currently.
Since Mullvad got rid of Port Forwarding, I use TorGuard for checking out LinuxISOs
But I still use Mullvad on my pc/phone, since its the best
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 with mullvad for a year and the speeds sucked, nordvpn for a few years now and the speeds are great - and I always keep the mesh net feature on my devices so I can remote in without opening ports.
I don’t even really use the vpn service anymore though, just the mesh net. I will probably not renew when my year is up.

None of your business! Who are you, a cop?
Did you forget what subreddit you’re in? This is /r/selfhosted not /r/hosted
Go set up your own VPN already, this isn’t the place for this, despite people in this sub likely having something to say.
Hi there! Thanks for your insight. I appreciate your concern, but I’ve gotten plenty of helpful feedback. Have a great day! :D
Kaspersky because it’s part of my $3/month antivirus… split tunnel kills my self-hosted docker stuff, and essentially isn’t really split tunneling, but yeah
