List of VPN Service Providers - 2025

[dkbit98]

Proton makes it very difficult to create an account without leaking who you are: you either need to pay them (and crypto isn't accepted) to create an account, or link another email address (and many trash email providers aren't accepted).

Are you talking about proton VPN or proton email?
One thing I know they want to connect customers real IP address, email address and Bitcoin wallet...I (don't) wonder why 

That's why companies like NordVPN (I'm not saying they're perfect) are suing EU authorities, because the authorities want them to keep data logs.

It's doesn't really matter what nordvpn is doing, since they are not really a trustworthy service.
They always need to have some fake opposition and fake heroes, if people need them, they will provide.

Is there a good alternative to ProtonMail?

Tutanota.

Isn't that the same when it comes to creating an account?

I don't think it will be quite like that.
Such a company would not go against court orders from France, Spain and Italy, if it was basic for them to share information

I don't know because I never created Proton VPN account or downloaded their software.

I guess I'm not eligible user because after installing Firefox VPN app only thing that I get is redirection to subscription page. Anyway, how good or bad Firefox is from privacy perspective? Because I remember that Opera browser also have their VPN, but I hear some bad words about it.

Instead, you should try Vivaldi. They offer a free VPN partnered with Proton VPN directly in the browser. All you need to do is create a ProtonVPN or a Vivaldi account. I trust them more than Firefox.

My Protonmail account keeps adding more features that I don't use:

I wanted to say: "who stores their passwords in their email account", but then I remembered that years ago Google's Chrome (Chromium?) browser "conveniently" uploaded all passwords saved in that browser to their servers. Without asking.

I wouldn't use a browser VPN for privacy. Mozilla has been making lots of money from search engine deals in firefox. If anything, they are focused on earning more money from this VPN service, they aren't focused on giving you more privacy. If you really want privacy as cheaply as possible, Mullvad and IVPN are the best option. Mullvad only costs 5 Euro per month, which is nothing. Windscribe also offers $29 per year offer sometimes, which also makes it very cheap when we calculate the price per month.
Mullvad also offers you to pay as many satoshis as you want and get the deserved amount of VPN usage time.

It's getting more bloated with each new release, but there are better forks like Librewolf, Zen or Mullvad browser.
Firefox is certainly better than Opera, but all those forks I mentioned have no VPN feature built-in.

I wanted to say: "who stores their passwords in their email account", but then I remembered that years ago Google's Chrome (Chromium?) browser "conveniently" uploaded all passwords saved in that browser to their servers. Without asking.

Even without uploading to servers it's a bad idea to use browser's built-in password managers.

I'd go crazy if I have to enter each unique password each time I visit a different site.

Thanks, I will look into it.

Your words confirms my scepticism.
Currently I use Windscribe and I prefer not to add more subscriptions. But there is some things that I don't like on Windscribe. They don't have that many locations as some other VPN's have. And it doesn't always work with Youtube - even after connecting to right country, video still doesn't works.

You can use KeePass connected with browser, and login details will load automatically.

This is the problem with y0utube, not with windscribe, because youtube blocks IP addresses that are known to be connected with VPN or abuse.
They don't like when people are downloading their videos and watching them offline.

Yeah, I know that Youtube and all streaming services liike Netflix don't like VPN users. But it's VPN task to replace blacklisted IP's, I'm paying money to get working service. From my experience using other VPN's than Windscribe, I faced blacklisted IP very few times.
