i thought picking a vpn would be simple after reading a few lists, but after trying some it feels way more messy than that. one works fine for a while then starts having random issues, another looks good on paper but feels annoying to use daily, and some are just inconsistent depending on the server.

what surprised me is how small things matter more than expected. stuff like how often you have to reconnect, sites randomly blocking you, or even how the app behaves ends up being more important than speed numbers.

also feels like everyone recommends based on their own use, so advice is all over the place. what works for someone streaming all day is completely different from someone just using it on public wifi.
