Due to the new "online safety act" in my country, I'm planning on getting a VPN. I'm thinking of getting either Mullvad or Proton due to them sounding like the most trustworthy ones, but I'm torn between which one to get.

Mullvad is apparently very private and secure, which is good, however I've also heard that a lot of websites will be blocked if you use Mullvad, which is bad because the main reason I want a VPN is to avoid censorship and to continue using social media. It also, from what I've heard, doesn't support streaming, which isn't the end of the world but would be inconvenient.

Proton sounds very user-friendly, and apparently fewer sites block it. It's also cheaper than Mullvad. However, I already use ProtonMail, and I don't want to "put all my eggs in one basket", so to speak - I don't want to get into the habit of using one company for everything. I've also heard that ProtonVPN isn't as good for privacy, though I'm not sure how true this is.

I'm also a Linux user, and I'm not sure how well either of these VPNs work on Linux devices.

If anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it.
