Airvpn (run by hacktivists in Italy), Cryptostorm (Iceland), Mullvad (Sweden), iPredator (Sweden, cofounded by Peter Sunde of TPB).
All of these are no-logs afaik. And outside US jurisdiction for their main operations.
They vary in price, but most are at least $5 a month when you pay for a year. They do take Bitcoin and altcoins afaik.
You want a VPN that supports at least 256-bit encryption for the actual data (not authentication), that appears to be the highest you can get.
If the VPN provider uses AES cryptography for OpenVPN, you can run it on an Intel AES-NI computer which will make it faster by using hardware to do the cryptography.
No logs is also important. But note that if you are connected when they receive an order to log data or law enforcement request, "no logs" does not protect you.
But VPN is not as anonymous as something like Tor Browser or JonDo which are designed to prevent browser fingerprinting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Anon_Proxy. JonDo/removed also is multihop, like Tor.
If you could run JonDo or Tor + VPN that would be best. You could also chain proxies (advanced).
Every year TorrentFreak interviews a bunch of VPN operators about their logging policies, data requests they have received etc.
I've used Airvpn, Mullvad, and Private Internet Access.
A cheap VPN I found is Fastest VPN, they have $40/5 years plan here: fastestvpn.com/5years. But I haven't tried them. Was going to.
