Also, if you are using a VPN for the sake of privacy...
I would instead look into using Tor or I2P. Being private and secure involves a lot of ongoing research, maintenance, and care, and a VPN is not generally a good way to be private. There's no set it and forget it option. It's better to use a VPN for port-forwarding, circumvent geo-blocking to access media, hide IP from gaming in P2P servers, etc. Otherwise, I would recommend looking into virtualization, using QubeOS and Tails, hardening Firefox, etc.
If you use Linux, here are a few good resources to harden your OS:
AirVPN if you need port-forwarding for torrents.
Otherwise Mullvad or IVPN (Mullvad is cheaper). Mullvad is also removing support for OpenVPN and will be just using WireGuard, so if you need OpenVPN for any reason, you will need to use one of the other two.

Cool links. I should go harden my system. Actually... I could make a nixos module with my changes so others can import these things easily... Hmmm.
