So I would like some opinions, from my fellow revered privacy friends 😊🔏
I'm not sure which vpn to go with.
I'm leaning heavily toward squirrel vpn, it's a p2p, decentralized vpn (site here)
Or with Mozilla vpn. I get good speeds on squirrel, and it seems inherently safer.
Thoughts?

What is your objective? If it's to avoid ISP or state censorship then use Tor.
If it's to avoid BitTorrent lawsuits, use IP blocklists and BitTorrent encryption.
Any other reason - set up your own Wireguard endpoint at a cloud provider.
Otherwise VPN is just giving away control over your traffic from one entity (ISP) to another, even less trusted (VPN operator).
But why do you consider VPN operator as less trusted than ISP? At least VPN operator knows much less about me than ISP which is literally has my home address and personal data.
In case of Russia (where I live) ISP could also easily send some reports about visited IP sites to our glorious FSB. Sure, VPN operator could do this to, but less likely, doesn't it?
