What are they supposed to do when their own government has a warrant? Ignore it and let the government shut down the whole site? This way they followed it without breaking anyones encryption, no back door, … this is a positive aspect in my view.

Or ProtonMail, which is outside of the Five Eyes!

Mikrotik hardware is very inexpensive. The rb4011 is the "default powerful small business router", and I've been enjoying it so far.

I use the RB4011, which even came with rack mounts. For the last year it's been working great (once you get the hang of how the configuration works). Can highly recommend.

I also use the CRS326, with a little less power than the RB4011, but with 24 Lan ports instead.

The only downside, compared to the UDMP, is the missing DPI

I recently sold my UDMP and bought some mikrotik gear, because the device hat very tight limits on what ubiquiti wants you to do with it. No wireguard was an annoyance I could live with, but disabling NAT was not possible and a switch backplane running at 1gbps were the final blow. Also I do not want to have to log into an online account to use my (maybe airgapped) router.

IMO, this https://www.privacytools.io/providers/vpn/ is currently one of the best sources on deciding for a VPN provider. Or you could host your own on a cheap VPS.

But, there are few reasons to actually use a VPN nowadays, there was a discussion on HN a few days back, but I cannot seem to find it at the moment.
