I’ve been using AirVPN for many years (including port forwarding). I have zero complaints.

I have a Spotify (family) subscription, but it’s mainly for the others in my household. I’m a big believer in having a local media library and local ownership (legally acquired or otherwise) - I don’t like the idea of content you’re paying for disappearing due to licensing issues or other BS (perhaps it’s not as big of an issue with services like Spotify, but video streaming is a huge mess).
