I always use ProtonVPN - they also do a free encrypted email service.

The full VPN access version costs about the same price as Nord et al but 
they have a FREE version that I use and it works brilliantly for me. 
Only drawback is it always seems to connect to the same 1 or 2 servers 
in the Netherlands.  So if you want to trick it into putting you in a 
specific country, for example, then you will have to sign up for the 
full version.

I planned to do that after testing the free version... but found I dont 
actually need that I dont travel much theses days, - or indeed need any 
of the other paid for features - so why not do a test of it - nothing to 
lose.
