I'm currently using Windscribe. They seem decent so far - they claim their browser extension can "unlock" Netflix, but to be honest, I haven't really tested that feature out since most of the content I watch on Netflix are really their own exclusive content that isn't blocked. The "works with Netflix" is really a cat and mouse game so I don't think that any VPN provider can guarantee consistent US Netflix operation.

Windscribe does have a "free" 10GB/mo option that limits you to a smaller # of servers, while the paid option gives you 40+ servers around the world. Might be good if you don't heavily use the VPN.

They're a Canadian based operation, so take that for what it is. I got in on a "lifetime" deal which I think was around $40-ish USD at the time. I had used PIA many years ago, and I left them a couple of years ago because the performance was painfully slow. Not sure if things have improved since then or not. Windscribe is a little better - but you're certainly not going to be maxing out your connection with any end user centric VPN provider.
