I’ve been using one but I’m not sure what benefits I’m getting from it. I feel like the only thing happening is I’m adding a little bit of latency to all my requests for no reason.

Mullvad is the gold standard for VPNs in my book
No port forwarding BTW for anyone looking at this.
They recently gave up the fight against groups (copyright groups) accusing them of aiding with CSAM so they stopped port forwarding
AirVPN has port forwarding if you need that. You can also do it with Proton, but last time I used it, it was quite janky.
The fact that they allow you to order a physical voucher with a product key, and that product key serves as your only authentication makes it especially anonymous. I love it.
And ProtonVPN IMO.
Yeah. Proton, Mullvad and IVPN are the three best providers out there. That’s also why they’re recommended by privacy/security enthusiasts: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/?h=vpn#recommended-providers
It matches all the criteria I outlined. IVPN too btw: https://www.ivpn.net/
They’re also on Mastodon, which is also a plus in my opinion (not really significant though) @ivpn@mastodon.social
