I like Mullvad. They post a document listing which servers they own and physically control. Pick a country that doesn't cooperate with the US and where they own their own servers.
A free AWS instance and your own VPN software is much better than anything anyone else can provide you. Even better if you go get a cheep virtual server from any number of providers out there. I do that, and take a small router that integrates with it with me when I travel abroad so I don't have to lose streaming app content over seas.

Goodness...what a cool suggestion.
Would you have any links on how to set this all up?
I think the trouble is that a VPN doesn't really provide you with much additional privacy, if you log into any website anywhere or use the same browser without a VPN then you're immediately de-anonymized. Plus the VPN provider themselves may be snoops.
Upon looking deeper, it seems they are currently transitioning their VPN from old tech to new, better tech, and merging with their DNS tech, as it makes no sense running them separately with so much overlap.
Also, their old name, ipredator.se, was a fitting inside joke at the time when they were new (see blog), but clearly wasn't the best choice.:D

Try the PirateBay guys' VPN:

For them it's not just a business. It's personal! :)
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any VPN that you can be more confident in.

I use it on 5 machines and it works flawlessly. I download a couple of hundred gigs of torrents each month, fast as hell.

No-one knows. It's likely that many (even paid ones) are data mining projects (see the tesonet VPN conspiracies).
Tor is probably your best bet from a privacy point of view.
