IVPN is the boutique option, a smaller operator that leans hard on privacy. You can sign up anonymously with an account number, pay with cash or crypto, and let its AntiTracker block ads and trackers at the DNS level. The apps are open source and audited. The server list is shorter than the big names and there is no free tier. What it does instead is get the fundamentals right.
