any good future-proof VPN services you guys can recommend which are fast, reliable, take privacy serious, come with a linux client (CLI perfectly fine) and allow for conveniently faking geolocation?

For a CLI Client use openVPN, as for the VPN Service itself you could use i dont know..

I like protonvpn.
Airvpn also has a good rep and a linux-client, but its based in italy, so dont know how you think about that

@metamourge protonVPN looks really good! ty

@4h4b I suggest looking at Mullvad (https://www.mullvad.net/).

PS: They also support WireGuard!

Another for proton

Been using Mullvad for 4 years, absolutely great choice. Super fast, stable, servers in almost every country and they support Wireguard in almost every one too. Plus, they open sourced everything and log nothing. You can even pay cash, that's how privacy minded they are.

Mullvad! They already have started with wireguard servers and literally don't require any personal information.

@irene that depends on the context, are we talking about 5 minutes into the future or 5000 years?

@irene OP asked for good VPN recommendations so I recommended Mullvad! (Https://mullvad.net)

What do you means as for what I'm talking about?

@irene I was saying that mullvad already has a few wireguard servers (wireguard is a better VPN 'protocol' than openvpn but is very new) (https://mullvad.net/en/guides/...)

As for not requiring data, you get an account number and that's it. No email or whatsoever required, you can even send them cash as payment :)

OpenVPN + a VPS hosted on a cloud provider of your choosing, in whichever region you prefer, with OpenVPN-server installed on it.
Aruba and Hetzner have some solid offerings for very low prices and large traffic allowances, while AWS/Azure/GCP typically offer free tier/free credits for an extended period of time (though the free traffic allowance is pretty low, so you may have to pay the extras)

@Lucky-Loek @linuxxx I will definitely have a look into mullvad, too! Thank you :)

In the end I’m going to compare protonVPN to mullvad and choose one of those I guess. Thank you for your opinions!
