    Proton with paid plans supports it or Windscribe.

      Note that Proton only supports it on Windows.

        Their app only supports it on Windows, but you can configure it with OpenVPN and Wireguard.

          Ubuntu network manager plugin they want you to use doesn’t work last I tried. I did get port forwarding working though following some instructions for wireguard on an issue in that repo.

      Not a big fan of proton since you can’t have a dedicated password for the VPN. I’ll look into Windscribe, thank you.

        You do get a dedicated username and password for OpenVPN.

        Windscribe is fantastic. Been using them for years without issues. Support is great and I believe they’ve been proven to not scrape data on their customers (obviously verify independently if that’s important to you).

      Are either/both of these blocked by Netflix and such? I know Mullvad took the stance of not genuinely caring about that – which is fine, just meant some enabling/disabling annoyances.
