Are they even worth it? Help is appreciated.

    I use mullvad. You don’t need personal details to use it, accounts are just randomly generated numbers with the amount of access time associated to it. Allegedly payment info isn’t associated to accounts, and if you’re still that paranoid they have an option to pay by mailing them cash. It costs a flat €5 per 30 days, they don’t have sales or discounts for buying time in bulk.

    That said the only situations where I think a VPN service is worth using are when you’re doing something illegal (even if it’s as minor as piracy), trying to get around location-based content blockers, or frequently have to use public wi-fi. Good opsec will always be more important.
