And if you use one, are you happy with it?

I'm trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It's mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

The only VPN I use is:

Wireguard and OpenVPN to connect to my home network.

AirVPN for a server that I may or may not have on my home network that may or may not be sailing the high seas (allegedly).
