I use my own local Wireguard that runs on multiple Pis across the world linked into a single network. Wireguard just works for me on Linux and requires very little effort to set up compared to OpenVPN (not that it's hard if you have some networking knonwledge). There are GUI clients for Android and Gnome which also just work, and I don't use anything else.
I applied to one of the biggest VPN providers recently (the one that's pushed the most by all the YouTubers) and they jokingly implied that they can MITM any connection during an interview. Not sure what to do with that info.
I tried to dig into the legal entities behind that company as part of DD and it's pretty shady: multiple different company renames, offshore companies on far away islands, founders being involved in other questionable companies, no company/CoC information on the website (illegal in at least a few countries the do business in that I know), ToS mentioning unknown offshore companies and having points that are, again, illegal. How seems pretty trivial. As for why, your guess is as good as mine.
