Mullvad is the only one, though it's in large part due to me not being in a situation where I have any important software needs in my personal life, meaning I can get away with just free options and cracked versions whenever I need something.
I really want to switch to Mullvad but it's difficult for me to justify 5โฌ a month when other VPN services regularly have specials offering US$2 a month if I prepay 2 years
If you just want to change your IP, there is no reason to use Mullvad. If you care about your privacy Mullvad is great. You can pay in xmr or even in cash by mail.
I get that, but I also want to be able to support services like Mullvad, since they're just an honest, scandal-free service. But at the same time, the only functionality I need is pretending I'm not in America to certain websites
