I've been using Nord VPN for years. Maybe someone can educate me on why it's not good but I've had zero issues with it and it allows me to do everything I need to for a great price.
If I remember correctly, NordVPN keeps logs So, if a govt ever subpoenas their data, users can have their privacy violated.
Nord says they don't keep logs. Who knows if they actually do or not.
Mullvad air and proton. Several computers and infrastructure thingys I have access too in addition to a handful of vpses. Nebula for overlay networking.
Proton, sometimes you might need to connect to a random server like something in Philippines for example, then you won't get captcha. If I encounter a site that flags my server then I do that.
try to connect to newer servers. solves these kind of issues often but ofc not always.
How do you know which ones are "new"? I've tried to switch servers but there are literally hundreds and I can't try them all.
by its name. the higher the number the newer the server.
I see, thanks for the tip!
I don't think there is one. Nord has dedicated IPs you can buy and use so that it's always "your IP" but I'm not sure if they actually solve the blocks and captcha issues.
AirVPN, but only for its port forwarding to sail the high seas.
I use both AirVPN and Mullvad, and certain websites block them too, but it depends on which country and which server you're connected too.
Geph were not mentioned yet. It will likely not solve the problem mentioned by OP, but it is VERY censorship resistant.

That's not a VPN provider, just a protocol
Please don't downvote this [too much] but...
I'm not seeing ExpressVPN get mentioned here or elsewhere anymore except for the odd YouTube ad (perhaps this is already a tell-tale sign).
Their website states that they run it off RAM and they don't keep logs.
Is there something wrong with it / did something happen to it that I'm not aware of? (I've been a customer of theirs for some time now)
My aim with using VPN is to maintain data privacy across my Windows, iOS and Android devices, and be able to access geofenced media (e.g. a different country's Netflix library), with minimal to no access issues during browsing or streaming. What's the go-to these days?
It's owned by Kape Technologies, the same companies that owns other garbage VPN providers like CyberGhost and PIA
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
