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!

PrivacyTools should be taken with a grain of salt these days. There was apparently a massive falling out.

Long story short the main guy went MIA and the rest of the crew and community decided over many months to create a new site since the main guy had the keys to the kingdom. Shortly after the move the guy came back and accused everyone of being against him. It's a whole drama thing. But the fact that PrivacyTools now highly recommends NordVPN and ExpressVPN tells me all I need to know and I'm sticking with the new PrivacyGuides
