You might look into AirVPN, they have a strong no-log policy, independent ownership, transparent list of all servers/load, guaranteed minimum bandwidth, up 10 (iirc) port forwards with optional dynamicDNS, p2p welcome. Current Black Friday price is 64 EUR for 3yr which is much less than Nord's "deal" which looks like their usual price to me--and crypto is accepted. They also financially support various projects such as Tor, EFF, and host some open-source mirrors.
