Flat monthly price with no renewal jump and a strong privacy reputation; users report fewer CAPTCHAs. Trade-off: no free plan, email-only support and no port forwarding.

Very fast in tests with Meshnet and Threat Protection, and fewer CAPTCHA complaints from switchers. Trade-off: no free plan and steep renewal prices.

Windscribe
Mentioned 5x by users

Independent provider that also has a free plan, an alternative if Proton's free servers are too slow. Trade-off: the free plan has a data cap.
