AFAIK AirVPN is run by Italian hacktivist enthusiasts and are not part of the mess with NordVPN and other highly advertised. At least I've only heard positive things from nerds as they seem to fly under the radar of the commercial circuit. Like Mullvad did until some years ago when they started running ad campaigns.

Not related to nord whatever I'm remembering was seprate. Maybe they just had a security fuck up or I'm thinking of one of a dosen other data mining VPNs ¯_(ツ)_/¯
