NordVPN
~$3/month with 2-year plan. Easy app. Big provider.
Proton VPN
Free version available. Limited speed but works.
ExpressVPN
$8/month. Most user-friendly app.
Built-in options
iCloud+ Private Relay (iPhone, $0.99/month). Google One VPN (with 2 TB plan).
Quick Tip: Avoid free VPNs that aren't Proton. Many sell your data — defeats the purpose.
