If you are concerned with security over defeating regions for viewing video I would recommend that you roll your own. The reason is trust. You trust your home lan I presume. How can you be sure there aren’t the same kind of bad actors in the exit point of a third party vpn that could also be at a coffee shop or airport? There really is no way to be sure.
If your not too technically savvy some premium home routers have a vpn in them. Just be sure it’s up to date with the latest firmwares. There are some older vpns that are really very vulnerable. It’s a sensitive issue. You want to guard the vpn because it’s a door to your entire lan.
