What VPN provider do you use? (alien.top)

Hi! So I have had surfshark for a while and been generally quite satisfied. They do everything I need them to do this far with no fuss and bundle in some handy other services as well.

My annual plan expires in a couple of months and I'm curious what else is out there, as I only started SF because it was heavily discounted at the time. From a new provider, I just need privacy, the ability to torrent totally public domain content, and a static IP. Do you have any suggestions for other options worth considering? I just like to have options. Thanks in advance!

The question still included this requirement, so don’t suggest solutions that are not applicable then. Good VPN providers offer to pay with various services not linked to your personal data for a reason and they don’t sit in countries like the US. Please just stop spreading information about things you clearly have no clue about.
