Best country to VPN to?
The VPN provider I use has servers in multiple countries. I was wondering if privacy laws would make it better to VPN to some countries over others when pirating.

What no-log VPNs are out there in the U.S.? Anything similar to Mullvad?
I don't mean US based, I mean US servers. Mullvad has US servers.
Can't really comment on 14-eyes, but 100% avoid the US, UK, AU, NZ, and maybe CA based companies. I personally don't use Mullvad anymore since they stopped supporting port forwarding, but it's an otherwise great VPN.
What do you use now?
I switched to Proton VPN and the gluetun docker container for port forwarding.
I'm not a very privacy focused person, so I won't give you recommendations.
Just look at reviews that are recent and are from trustworthy but non-mainstream sources. There are some popular news sites that get revenue from paid links, which will give some less-than-ideal recommendations. It's best to choose a VPN provider with a history of passing 3rd-party audits.
I will say, though, that Mullvad has some great speeds and is stupid-easy to use.
Got it. Thanks.
PIA is a proven no-logger. They are also fast as hell.
I use PIA's Canada servers for torrenting because they are (geographically) closest to the US with port forwarding. No issues, been using them for years.
