I used Anonine (Sweden based) for 10yrs and never had a single problem visiting any site... I use a VPN 24/7 because I value my privacy and don't want every fucker tracking my everymove and that includes my ISP.

Recently switched to Proton because streaming from legal sites like iplayer and netflix had become impossible unless it was turned off. Proton actually works with them.
