I've been using one but I'm not sure what benefits I'm getting from it. I feel like the only thing happening is I'm adding a little bit of latency to all my requests for no reason.

Mullvad is the gold standard for VPNs in my book

The fact that they allow you to order a physical voucher with a product key, and that product key serves as your only authentication makes it especially anonymous. I love it.

It matches all the criteria I outlined. IVPN too btw: https://www.ivpn.net/

They're also on Mastodon, which is also a plus in my opinion (not really significant though) @[email protected]

Yeah. Proton, Mullvad and IVPN are the three best providers out there. That's also why they're recommended by privacy/security enthusiasts: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/?h=vpn#recommended-providers
