NordVPN is a surprisingly slick product for casual users. I use it to access websites for work that block foreign users. The Mac and Android apps are well done and remove the friction of using a VPN. It's not like the old days of fly-by-night VPNs you have to configure yourself. But as useful as it might be for casual users, I think you'd be crazy to trust a large commercial VPN service to anonymize yourself if you are worried about being tracked by a nation-state actor or hiding serious crimes or something like that. No large business is going to protect you if they get sufficient pressure from a government that threatens their existence.
