I want a VPN but I really don’t know anything about it, obviously I would prefer a free one, but if a paid one is really necessary or makes an absolutely huge difference I am willing to paid for it. I mostly want to be able to change my location to watch content that it’s not in my country, right now I want to watch a movie on tubi but hopefully it would work on as many big streaming services as possible, specially if it is a paid one. I would really appreciate any input you guys can give me.

If you subscribe to Mozilla VPN, your money will support the development of Firefox.
I would prefer a free one
I strongly suggest you let go of that preference.
VPNs cost money to run. Not just to develop–every user costs the service provider money, every day they use the VPN. VPNs also are in a very privileged position, you must trust them, because all of your browsing passes through them.
So ask yourself this:
Why would a for profit company give you something for free, which costs them money to give you?
Not every Free VPN has ulterior motives. But the vast majority do.
As for what VPN, I’d suggest choosing from:
- Mozilla VPN
- Mullvad VPN
- ProtonVPN (Paid and limited free option)
- Windscribe (Affordable paid plan, limited free option)
- IVPN
Proton VPN, it even has a free version (albeit limited and doens’t allow p2p traffic unless paid in premium) and Mullvad, which is dirt cheap and enough for its job
ik people will flood in telling me im stupid, but i prefer NordVpn. Its reliable AF, i use it on my fireTv box, laptop, linux PC, macbook, and andoid phone.
ProtonVPN, they even have unlimited free version
Protonvpn may be what you want. It has a free subscription. The paid subscription has more servers and more functions and more speed. In terms of privacy, free and paid are the same.
Mullvad or proton, both are equally good.
There is no such thing as a free VPN. “Free” VPNs still have to make money, and I guarantee you they are logging and selling your data. I use AirVPN. It doesn’t cost much, supports port forwarding, and has excellent speeds. Has never let me down. 
i use cyberghost. 45 dollars for 3 year subscription.
I’ve been using TurisVPN for quite some time now and I highly recommend it. It’s very easy to use and their premium plan is quite affordable. Definitely give it a try!
Pure vpn ripped me off!
Purevpn will renewed my subscription without any notice or warning.
They won’t refund it, AFTER I saw it on my credit card. They say it’s in terms I agreed to.
Sneaky tricksters!
On linux: RiseupVPN [100% free] or ProtonVPN.
I’ve been using NordVPN for almost 2 years now, and it’s been pretty solid. It’s super reliable for streaming (works with Netflix, Hulu, etc.), and the speeds are great most of the time. I also like that it’s easy to use on multiple devices—I’ve got it running on my phone and laptop. If you’re using a GL.iNet router or TP-Link, you can even log in to your account there and secure your entire home network.
If you just want to use a WireGuard client, you’ll need to export the WireGuard config, which unfortunately you can’t do directly from the NordVPN console. If anyone needs help with that, let me know—I can share the instructions.
That said, it’s not perfect. The monthly plan is kind of pricey, but the 2-year deal I got made it way more affordable. Also, some of the specialty servers (like Double VPN) can be a bit slower, but I don’t use those often.
Here’s my referral link: Up to 3 free months of NordVPN: Get them right now | NordVPN - it gives both of us an extra 3 months for free if you sign up.
Surfshark is great, and you get free months by using a referral link
I post educational content about VPNs and alternatives here: r/betterthanVPN
You can check out virtual 5g express on the iOS app store. It’s particularly good for streaming videos on mobile.
Free version comes with limited server. So you need to buy a decent vpn for streaming . surfshark is a good VPN though
I checked it, sadly it’s not available in my country
your money will support the development of Firefox.
Does it? I thought it’d go to Mozilla foundation.
