Hey, I highly recommend Mulvad vpn rather than Nord (I have used both). I don't recommend using Brave VPN if that's what you are planning (or any free VPN for that matter).
Basically, whatever VPN you use gets to see and collect all your data. They are not supposed to keep or sell your data, but without third party audits, it's impossible to know. Even then, ultimately, you're "trusting" your VPN provider.
I personally would not trust Brave.
I didn't plan on it, as the research I did on the Brave VPN did not sit too well with me. Nord I have heard of, Mulvad is new to me. I know all too well about Free VPNs and the damage they could actually end up doing.
Pardon my mandplaning then. Most people don't bother researching at all.
Like I said, try Mullvad. You don't even use an email, you're just assigned an account number that you can reset any time. You can even buy cards from them on Amazon (or send cash, I guess) so there's no personal info linked to your account at all.
I promise I'm not sponsored lol. Anyways, good luck.
