I use adguard VPN. I got 5 years for really cheap and it integrates well with adguard DNS blocking on my phone.

TrackerControl for my android and then the router configured to use NordVPN for specific devices.

Allows me to not only allow and block telemetry and tracking for specific applications at a device level but also route traffic how I want to.

I used to use Proton, but it stopped working in the country I travel to work in, so I changed to SurfShark as it works as a region unblocker, on recommendation from other people here.

PIA is the cheapest that supports port forwarding. But it's not to hide from ISP, it's mostly for content unblocking

IVPN initially because it is very privacy focused but now I swapped to Nord because it's basically free if you get cashback offers and it seems to bypass more region restrictions for video streaming etc.

I've been trying running a VPN on my phone as a matter of course lately (Proton). I'm assuming it not only keeps your ISP from knowing where you're going but, more importantly, advertisers and trackers as well.

....or do I have that last bit wrong?

ProtonVPN mostly when I need to VPN. Got a plan with them with email and this works well.
