It is very meh. But I think if you’re able to, it’s well worth the price. Just don’t get the standard plan. That one is god awful.

Bit biased cause I’ve had it for a while and have a ‘legacy plan’. But even without that, absolutely.

Kagi. Yes, it’s paid and the pricing structure is really meh, but:

• Actual privacy
• No BS like with DDG
• AI features (like a “quick answer” feature that’s really useful)
• Has its own index along with others
• Search results are great, probably better than DDG’s
• “Lenses” (basically narrow results by a set of sites)
• Devs are pretty cool

I’m using AirVPN right now. They’re pretty good (albeit very old-school), support port forwarding, etc. Same price as Mullvad at 3 months and cheaper for any larger plans (+ they’re doing a sale right now.) Also tried IVPN - they’re OK but a little more expensive and has no port forwarding in the US.
