Apparently The Wirecutter now recommends TunnelBear and Mullvad because they post regular transparency reports and do third-party audits. https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-vpn-service/

Mullvad is a great choice, but I'm mildly surprised about TunnelBear as a choice. They log bandwidth and they incentivize social media spam.

I've been using Mullvad for a while now and I have nothing but praise for them. Only complaint is they're more expensive than some of their competitors.

What aspects of a VPN provider would you praise? Customer service, consistency of connection speed? Seems almost like a utility where it's hard to differentiate.

I am not OP, but they helped me with a rare openvpn config for which my forays into the openVPN forums led nowhere.

Out of my 110/12mbit connection Mullvad let's me use 108/11 of that, and even has wireguard support.

I would say transparency/security, quality of the client(s) and customer service, in that order. It's one thing to offer a VPN service, but to make sure you have a nice app on both iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux seems like quite an investment.
