What VPN provider do you use? (alien.top)

Hi! So I have had surfshark for a while and been generally quite satisfied. They do everything I need them to do this far with no fuss and bundle in some handy other services as well.

My annual plan expires in a couple of months and I'm curious what else is out there, as I only started SF because it was heavily discounted at the time. From a new provider, I just need privacy, the ability to torrent totally public domain content, and a static IP. Do you have any suggestions for other options worth considering? I just like to have options. Thanks in advance!

Do you use a VPS for this? If not, how do you do it?

No VPS, all running on my home servers.

I have one server at home in country where I reside in, so if I want secure tunnel when for example on public wifi, I just connect to my home in this country

And second one is in my home country where my relative lets me keep my second low power server at their home, which I use if I need to bypass geoblocked content of my current country
