IVPN

IVPN is the gold standard for privacy, requiring no email for signup—just an account ID—and publishing quarterly transparency reports since 2019. It costs $6/month, which is 30% pricier than the average on this list, but outperforms #8 Private Internet Access by never logging any connection data, audited annually. With servers in 30+ countries, it sacrifices scale for uncompromised anonymity.
