    The best, most reputable VPN, Mullvad costs $5 USD. Plenty are cheaper than that if you pay in advance for a few years.

    The cheapest streaming service will roughly double that.

        I just did a speedtest over wifi and got 530 down / 260 up with 45ms ping. I connected to a server a few states away and also got about the same with the closest server. I do have gigabit fiber though

          I have gig fiber as well but my modem is not rated for it. So I pull, hardlined, around 300mbs down lol.

        When I had Mulkvad my speed test would go from about 335mbit to like 327mbit when connected to a somewhat close server.

        Connected to servers across the ocean it’d be like 310.

        They got a money-back guarantee if you don’t pay with something completely anonymous like cash in the mail.
