On matters like VPN providers, DNS providers, and similar topics, often one would like to find websites with recommendations and reviews from other people, especially testers or “experts”. But it’s SO difficult to find trustworthy websites! The vast majority appearing on searchers are clearly built by untrustworthy parties, or biased by commissions. A good one is https://www.privacyguides.org/ Do you know of any other good, trustworthy ones?

Thank you. They do say that they get commissions, but I found some interesting VPNs there. Had never heard of Windscribe, and it sounded interesting. Luckily this post gave an important warning about it.
Best option may actually be to do a search on VPN opinions here on Lemmy…
Opinions will vary. For instance, I’ve been torrenting with Windscribe with no issues since before that post was made and would still recommend it, so…
Their service was genuinely good for the short time I used it. You’ll note in my post that I would still recommend it to anyone who doesn’t plan on doing more than average browsing and light torrenting.
They just wanted an excuse to cut me off since I made more use of it than the average person likely does, and their ‘unlimited’ advertising means you can’t actually know what their real limits are.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been enjoying the heck out of AirVPN since then, with absolutely no issues.
It’s very slow compared to other VPNs.
