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!

I manily use Mysterium as I like having resedential IP addresses that are (usually) not detected for being a proxy but I also have Mullvad

I came across a provided that offered a static IP at a "data center" rate, which is essentially a known VPN server but a static IP for it, and a separate "residential" option that was slightly more expensive. I'm assuming the latter is less likely to be assumed to be a proxy by other machines/domains. Neat concept!
