If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don't find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name. Reply the reason to it. This make it easier to understand the real life user cases.

P.S: I am only looking for paid VPNs please don't mention "free vpn".

Currently proton its decent though I'm thinking of moving to mullvad even though they've removed portforwarding.

I did this and found it worked way better in terms of stability. Bonus is that Mullvad has a proper Linux client whereas Proton's is just a cobbled-together mess that's not worth using and is no where close to feature parity with the Windows client

And in the case that your Linux distro doesn't have a client in their repos, you can very easily use Mullvad with wireguard in the terminal.

To be fair, same with Proton. OpenVPN and WireGuard configurations are available.
