I'm looking to drop a pfsense router in front of my network so I don't have to deal with VPN on a per-device level. Other than that, selecting a top tier VPN is also on my to-do list. HN recommendations for VPNs would be helpful here!

Private Internet Access is supposed to be one of the better ones that doesn't save logs. I've had it on a machine for months and it hasn't ever disconnected. YMMV.

I can vouch for PIA working well. Speeds are quite good and connection is rock solid. 2+ years with it. The main problem with it I suppose is that it is based in the U.S.

But most of their connection locations are not.

I spent a lot of time researching VPNs and trying to find one I felt like I could trust. Unfortunately, if you're being truly paranoid (which I feel everyone whose considering a VPN should be) there's nobody out there you can trust.

If you feel you can trust a datacenter, the most trustworthy approach would be running your own OpenVPN instance in another country.

Although if you don't want to go through the hassle and do decide to put some amount of trust in a VPN service, I have found That One Privacy Site [0] to be a great resource for researching VPNs.

getcloak.com is the Dropbox of VPNs. The most polished service out there.
