I tried Proton but their VPN wasnt as good as NordVPNs… But if Nord is sketchy, what is the recommended one?

  Depends on what you mean by "good". Fast/low latency is to some extent diagrammatically opposed to high quality privacy. The fastest route is always you to source. The more hops/mixers/proxies/things you add the worse the experience gets

  You will have to be a lot more specific than "wasn't as good as", to get a response that is helpful to you. What are you looking for in a VPN provider?

    I wanted to watch some football world cup highlights video from a japanese TV channel site, which didnt work with Proton, but did with Nord, so I have been with them since then. This was during the 2022 WC though, so maybe Proton is better nowadays.

      I think they got better, I'm watching geofenced Japanese content all the time with Proton. In the past I occasionally had to select a different server from whatever it picks by default but I've always been able to watch my content.

  Mullvad, Proton, IVPN and sometimes Windscribe are generally considered the most trusted

  That's actually interesting. My yearly Proton subscription ended several months ago and I tried both NordVPN and ExpressVPN before switching back to Proton. The other two options had limited server locations and I wasn't a fan of the software/setup. There's also a weird shady vibe with how they do their advertising compared to Proton, can't quite put my finger on it though. Proton's software also seems to be more intuitive (although a bit clunky).
