We have a coupon code for 30% off when you pay for 3 months of AzireVPN, a security-focused VPN provider based in Sweden. The law there doesn't require them to log traffic, so they don't. They operate servers in 5 locations in Europe and north America. Their servers are owned by the company, installed on location by their engineers and running Debian. They provide a WireGuard option, as well as OpenVPN and their client is GPLv2 licensed and of course available on Linux. They take payment in cryptocurrencies, cash, credit cards and PayPal plus you don't even have to give them an email address.
