My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don't look so "safe and private" as they want you to think so it's hard to really figure it out. I don't want to spend too much since I don't use them very often but I kinda like the "change catalog of netflix" thing and to be safe while doing some """""""shady"""""" stuff
