obviously the shitty VPNs like NordSurshark, TorGuard, Tunnelbear, cyberghost and PrivateInternetExpress suck...pretty much every VPN that's part of some giant conglomerate sucks ass in terms of privacy and security
But then there's iVPN, Mullvad and ProtonVPN and even Adguard VPN which do very little to no advertising at all and allow their products to speak for themselves. I mean...Kitboga and RionaPoison are sponsored by Proton, but Proton is a good company that takes their security and the security of their swiss-law-abiding users very seriously.
Don't be a scumbag and Proton won't snitch on you.
https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/ is a good base for comparisons
Bear in mind that info hasn't been updated since 2019, when the OG thatoneprivacysite sold out to a shady company. The .xyz site is an old backup someone put up of the site before it changed to only recommend a handful of bad VPNs.
Is there a more recent guide that you'd recommend?
Perhaps Privacyguides.org, but I'm not aware of a replacement for the exhausting level of detail and breadth which thatoneprivacysite once provided.
