I do have experience in these areas (torrenting for a long time though not at all in the past several years, read TorrentFreak over the years, followed Snowden, etc.), but have never personally bought access to a VPN, even though I feel like I **should ** have been using one since like 2008.
I familiar with most terms and concepts, I know to look for non-FVEY/SSEUR jurisdictions only, strict no-log, network killswitch, pay with cash/crypto, DNS leak protection as a bonus, etc.
I am wondering which service you all have decided to go with.
Without knowing more about it, I can't really say. It lacks some features I'd like to see, and I personally wouldn't want to put all my eggs in one proverbial basket. But good on them for picking a well-regarded partner and an excellent newish technology.
