My country never cared about this, but recently some people started getting fines. I generally pay for my games; I only use ReVanced and watch TV shows online.
What would be the cheapest VPN in the long run for this? As I said, I don’t torrent, so port forwarding and stuff like that I don’t care about.
There’s also antimalware software bundled with the M365 subscription on Amazon; I’ve been using the VPN from that for a bit now.
Edit: Btw, do you think an antimalware VPN is safe? It’s never been a problem (never like the USA, for example) over here in the EU, but recently they started slightly hunting pirates (never heard of anyone I know though). So yeah, maybe a simple VPN may suffice until they decide to go hardcore style?
Mullvad.
If you want a free vpn, the only option is proton vpn. Personally I would recommend using proton vpn the paid version toom get a year subscription for black friday deal.
Your country fines you for watching tv shows?
Torguard has really cheap deals.
How long is “in the long run?” How much can you afford to spend? What country? How many devices?
For what you’re describing it doesn’t seem like places like mullvad or proton are the right choice. Nord is a good way to get past geofencing for decently cheap. Windscribe can also be cheap. Air is cheap if you’re not Italian.
Anti malware VPN services can be okay sometimes, I wouldn’t call them a serious option though because they’re often tied to use of some antimalware suite and may have glaring flaws when used without the rest of that software.
Mullvad remains the gold standard for privacy and anonymity.
Proton VPN has a free plan with barely any restrictions.
Yes, this seems like a good option for OP to try first considering they don’t need torrenting.
I should also have said I sometimes use it for MMO gaming, in case my ISP fucks up and I need to play for a week or so before it’s fixed (it just happened this week). I didn’t remember this when I wrote the thread
The free plan is very limited in terms of server locations so it might not be a good option for gaming.
I have some friends who’ve used Mudfish in the past. It’s a tunneling service with a Pay-Per-Traffic mode which is affordable if you only need it occasionally.
Their free plan should be fast enough for MMOs. As long as it’s not ultra fast paced like CoD
I’ll try it then, thanks :)
Mullvad is what I use and I am very happy with them.
I got surfshark for 2 years and gave it to all my relatives, it as unlimited machines.
this has been on my watch list for a while, seems like cheap and reliable but I’ve heard mixed feelings on reddit
Fines for streaming and not seeding ?

How long is “long term”? https://fastestvpn.com/ has a $40 lifetime plan, so that’s probably the best value (assuming they stay around, but they’ve been around for a few years now).
If you just want to stream, you could always use real debrid (or similar sevice) and Kodi. It also offers downloads through its service as well if you ever need it.
Windscribe custom plan or pro if you can lock any good offer (I got 29$/year last year).
