    I will have to suggest ovpn. Minus it being slightly more difficult to search issues because it’s too similar to openvpn , I’ve been super happy with it for my use case. I ended up choosing them over mullvad because of the port forwarding issue.

      I’ve been using fastvpn.com during my online classes and research sessions. It’s decent for accessing academic databases that are region-locked and works fine for video lectures without much buffering.However, it occasionally disconnects during longer study sessions, which is annoying when you’re in the middle of something important. Also, sometimes it takes a few tries to connect to specific servers. The speed can be inconsistent too – fast one day, sluggish the next.Overall, it gets the job done for student needs, just not perfectly.
