Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

#  As of 2017-12-14, pacaur is unmaintained (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1755144#p1755144)
#  For alternatives see the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers#Active

# That's why I didn't make a one-liner out of it so you have an easier time
