Nord. It was between NordVPN or ExpressVPN, but the deal they had recently just expired was too sweet to pass up. 85% discount for a year service with TEN device connection, plus they accept crypto payment so it's no brainer. Used the least profitable crypto coin I had that NordVPN accepted as payment, kautim. No banks needed/required. In fact on that day where Celcom network went busted and I cant even get MSOS code or OTP code to my phone, that crypto payment works flawlessly, and is proof that banks are obsolete, and digital cryptos are the future.
Couple that with NordLynx protocol, its basically trouble free connection to these streaming services. With the usual TCP/UDP VPN protocols, its either hit or miss, with many retries. With NordLynx its smooth sailing. I still use TCP/UDP VPN settings to set up the Asus RT-AC5300 router, so the whole wifi network at home is as if I'm surfing from the States, complete with annoying spam ads tailored for US market

(open Youtube see StateFarm or NBA ads, until I slap on adblocker

), but with just the router set up with TCP/UDP, mostly only HBO MAX and Disney+ works without a hitch. To open Hulu or get Netflix US content reliably without Hulu or Netflix US erroring out, I use the Nordlynx protocol, only available via their VPN activated via their apps (Available for Windows, iOS and Android).
