Best VPNs (programming.dev)

My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don't look so "safe and private" as they want you to think so it's hard to really figure it out. I don't want to spend too much since I don't use them very often but I kinda like the "change catalog of netflix" thing and to be safe while doing some """""""shady"""""" stuff

Yep, Mullvad is the one. No fishy pricing structure, transparency, and they don't force you to use their apps like other VPN providers. So if you want to route a docker container or network appliance through it you can just download the config files and away you go. So many VPN providers used to let you do this but then stopped so you have to use their apps (and we should be asking why they want you to use their apps, because the answer is usually control and data).
