Mullvad gives you a random number for your account and does not ask for anything else. You can pay via cash or other methods for better privacy. Mullvad has no logs to give and have been raided before proving this. Mullvad is based in Sweden with good vpn laws. I am very pro-Mullvad but when they removed port forwarding, I switched away (and they also gave partial refunds when they removed port forwarding).

I don't like the idea of being stuck in Proton's ecosystem since it has good deals on its suite but at least they have good vpn laws (Swiss). They also push credit instead of full refunds. The downside to AirVPN (who I have not fully tried yet) is they are based in Italy (but no longer serve Italian customers due to the increase of bs in Italy).
