___
.Good paid VPN providers do the following:
* Transparent communication, and all software used is open-source
* Use only dedicated/physical servers (faster and more secure than virtual servers, called "VPS" or "VDS")
* Use only dedicated/physical/bare metal servers (faster and more secure than virtual servers, called "VPS" or "VDS")
* Servers are only located in countries with lots of transit capability (for South America, is only Brazil)
* No fake server locations (unless for streaming purposes on specific domains/websites, and is stated as such)
* All server locations allow all forms of traffic except outbound port 25 (to prevent email spam abuse)
* Word of mouth advertising; not shoved in your face by sponsored YouTube videos and Google Ads
* VPN's company is not based in a tax haven country; tax haven = profitability is heavily considered, meaning they'd likely sell your data to earn more profit
* Ability to link:https://airvpn.org/faq/port_forwarding/[select ports to forward] (not just a randomized port on connection, as is the case with PIA/Private Internet Access)
For your own research, avoid all websites recommending VPNs under the parent company "Kape Technologies": https://restoreprivacy.com/private-internet-access-kape-crossrider/

"Our free WireGuard server works the same as our "Cryptofree" service: bandwidth is throttled to roughly 160kbps down, 130kbps up. Not fast enough to watch any HD videos, but plenty of bandwidth for sending an email, browsing a website, IRC, etc."
