I think people say that AirVPN is pretty goated

Yeah, that's what I use. Switched from Mullvad after they dropped port forwarding.
Commenting so I remember to check this thread later. My Mullvad expires in 5 days.
Can always count on Lemmy to raise awareness on where to not spend money!
Switched! I don't have the time/willpower to heavily research this, and changing VPNs is easy compared to changing things like eMail or OS.
Especially easy with all these recommendations here.
ivpn and airvpn are my short list, but ivpn is not looking great for the southern hemisphere due to a lack of servers down here.. Northern hemisphere they would be my top choice. I have contacted them a couple of times, and they have responded the same day, were helpful, and appear genuine.
Been using PIA for over a decade now. I started with them by paying with a random gift card I had laying around (Walmart maybe?) and have been paying with crypto ever since. They've never asked for any personal details (used a burner email address) and the service has been solid the entire time. Clients on Windows and Linux both work great and are open source with pretty decent documentation. In short, sometimes I want to reliably remain anonymous online and it has worked out well for me.
I know that a lot of people here hate on PIA but I haven't seen any justification. So if anyone here knows why I shouldn't be using the service, I'd love to hear about it; I'd be happy to switch to something else if it works at least as well.
PIA is owned by Israel. https://hackread.com/private-internet-access-pia-vpn-sold-israel-privacy-concerns/
EDIT: Updated link to be source article instead of shiddit post
Thanks for the answer; I certainly don't want to send any money to Israel, if possible. Does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives? I just have two requirements: I need the connection uptime to be rock solid. I also need to be able to register and pay completely anonymously. I'm not that concerned about bandwidth.
You can pay with Monero for IVPN.
Owned by kape (israel), who own many of the dodgy marketing vpn's.
Based in the USA (the opposite of privacy)
No personal experience with them myself

I really like Proton. It's fast, it's good.
Seconding Proton. Have used it for YEARS, no issues.
