Is there any point in surfshark VPN besides being able to bypass region restrictions for about $3 per month?

I understand that you can’t trust any VPN altogether but aren’t some better than others?

I wouldn’t pick surfshark. Mullvad or Proton are probably the safest.
I wouldn’t trust proton. After the post of the CEO.

There is a lot of missing context and nuance lost in that article.
Guy donates to liberal causes (like Fight for the Future), supports gender equality and social justice causes, openly criticizes racists, donates for refugees, worked on a project with Lina Khan, criticizes Trump on social media.
But he once congratulated Trump on nominating an anti-Big Tech candidate to run the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice – an objectively good thing – so now he’s MAGA. Complete lunacy.
I don’t like how people abuse the term “purity test”, but this is a clear cut case. The CEO has been good in every respect except for how one time he congratulated the Republicans when they did an objectively good thing for the goals he’d be working towards as the Proton CEO.
Windscribe, Air VPN or Proton VPN. These are the good options windscribe is the most affordable of them but great non the less
Maybe leeching (cursory search suggests subpar upload performance), but your hard-earned money would be better spent helping out a more ethical VPN provider than thrown to the sharks.
