Yes, Google’s VPN is intriguing, but I don’t want to give them any more personal information. For work-related purposes, I’ve been using Namecheap fast vpn, and to be honest, it’s been inconsistent. In comparison to larger brands, the server selection seems constrained, but the price is fair and setup was fairly simple. During video calls, there were also a few annoying speed drops. It satisfies basic privacy requirements, but it’s not particularly noteworthy.
