Hello, I'm new to all of this. What should one be looking for in a VPN? Is there a certain VPN more people recommend than others? I guess I'm just not really sure where to start here.

I have used: SaferVPN, NordVPN, Mullvad and ProtonVPN.

In my experience, Mullvad is great, I don't require port-forwarding as I have a seedbox, so the recent changes have not been a problem for me.

I have only use the free tier of Proton VPN, which is very good. Definitely a good candidate.

NordVPN was actually not bad for me; it gave me good upload and downloads speeds and offers several servers(from the US). NordVPN does not offer a free trial, so I would suggest not to sign up for a long-term if you are interest on it. It does offer Meshnet for free, tough, which could be nice to share in between your devices (I prefer Tailscape for that). I switched to Mullvad because of privacy concerns.

SaferVPN was my first one, I learned the hard way about killing switches with this one. Also, the speeds were not great, to say the least.
