I'm surprised that hide.io isn't on the list. I've been using it and it's extremely fast, has dozens of servers across the world, and is a Hong Kong based company, thus not subject to US laws (but, I suppose can possibly be queried from Beijing).

Or Bitcoin, for that matter.

Except bitcoin establishes a public, permanent and irrefutable link between yourself (or at least information that, except in specific circumstances, can be linked back to yourself) and the provider.
That's easy to avoid - just send the money through a mixer like this one https://blockchain.info/wallet/send-shared . Or any Bitcoin exchange or gambling site. Or a combination of three or four. Or you can just buy the bitcoins in person.

My personal favorite is https://mullvad.net/en/ because:
a) not US based, therefor not subject to US laws (both known and secret laws/courts)
b) you can send them cash as your payment method (every online payment method such as Paypal, credit card, etc. will establish a link back to you)
c) they don't keep logs
c) you can easily set up multiple "exit" countries (good for circumventing geoblocking)
