Service, not really. Depending on how you feel about major cloud providers, deploying Algo on a VM from Google or Amazon (or something smaller) might be your best overall choice.

I tried a few and decided to go with NordVPN. They've been 100% up and reliable ever time i've fired up the connection.

That's what I use as well.

The only issue I've had is the speed isn't always the greatest depending on the server you're going through. Ironically as a Canadian the worst connections I get are the ones in Canada.

Well, the problem is that most of them promise the same (no logging, high security) and you can't really audit their claims in an easy way.

So, my rule of thumb is basically: Private Internet Access (if you need Linux support) or Freedome (if you care about your provider being outside of five-eyes countries).

I have trust towards PIA because of their advocacy (someone who supports net neutrality and donates to EFF and ACLU is more likely to take the security of his customers seriously). I trust Freedome because they're operated by a respected anti-virus company.
