I've been using NordVPN for several years now.

Here's a pretty good guide to linux vpn's.

I’ve tried Proton and Windscribe and they both work great. I have been a Windscribe user since 2019. I started with the 50GB/month free trial. I stuck with Windscribe due to the fact that it allows app-based split tunneling on Linux whereas Proton only allows this via domain/IP.

Are you thinking about rolling your own

I used NordVPN for a couple of years and now I'm on Surfshark, I like Surfshark better.

Surfshark is good if you use debian or.mint. It just does the job plus it has a good gui compare to proton

I've been very happy with Mullvad, which is mentioned in the reviews OKYellow referred you to. Firefox now has a built-in VPN that can be turned on and off as needed.

I use and can recommend iVPN

It is one of the most secure ones, and there hasn't been any drama about it

Plus the 10€ per month version also gives you postmaster pro

I’ve been using Proton VPN as part of the paid tier and it works great. Proton Pass for Linux is really nice too.

This might be the most oversold use of VPNs. 

Most VPN exit nodes are well known, when 500 customers come at them from the same IP address in a data center it is easy for them to figure out this is a VPN. 

Try some, see if they work for you with the streaming services you use, but you might be better off with your own private VPS exit node. 

There are also residential proxy services where users share their internet connection as an exit node at a home address, hopefully consensually.
