Since it's about VPNs - what are good VPNs for someone looking for safety/privacy but not anonymity or even IP hiding?

Not even for streaming. But for general "safety while on the Internet" when the devices (Mac, iPhone) are mostly on public or not-so-secure WiFi (at the residence or on the go). Plan is to keep it always ON or almost always ON.

Not necessarily for the UK.

(Other than Mullvad)

The best VPN is to host your own. I used Digital Ocean. They have preconfigured droplet images for OpenVPN access server. The droplet even serves a client pre-configured with the connection settings.

It took me all of 10 minutes to set up.

In the year of our lord 2025, don't use OpenVPN. Use wireguard.

Please give a bit more detail and justification when you give opinions like this.

Otherwise it sounds like you’re saying everybody already knows which one is good and which one is bad -- but if everybody knew, you wouldn’t need to say anything, right?
