Except that your self-hosted option still has your own connection as the exit node. It’s great if you just want access to your LAN from outside or to run your remote traffic through your Pihole, but there is still a use case for hosted options (not that I would choose Proton, for the aforementioned Trump support)
Obviously. Therefore, there is no “best” VPN. Because any hosted option surveils you, directly fuels fascists and genocide, supports monopolies etc.
Saying there is a “best” VPN is like saying a private Jet is the best way of moving; it may be better than alternatives in raw performance, but it’s highly unethical.
This is a strange hill to die on. You acknowledge that there’s a use-case for hosted VPNs, but say discussing which services in the industry are best is pointless. If we want more ethical hosted VPN providers, then discussing which are better than the rest is exactly what we should be doing.
Mullvad, as far as I know, has a good track record
