As you are a newbie, I would suggest you to go for Expressvpn or Nordvpn. These two are the most reliable ones in the VPN industry. If you're looking for free options, go for Protonvpn.

If you're new to the VPN industry, you should read some guide like how VPNs work, how to check their logging policies. One I would recommend you to read is about VPN server locations and difference between physical and virtual servers in this guide.

I've no idea what their policies are about logging and so on. We don't really know what anyone's are other than their own claims.

Private Internet Access's "no logging" claims were tested a couple years ago. The FBI tried to compel PIA to reveal location data about a suspected hoaxer. This is all they got:

Quote
“A subpoena was sent to London Trust Media and the only information they could provide is that the cluster of IP addresses being used was from the east coast of the United States,” the FBI’s complaint reads.

That's why I use them. With most VPNs, you're just trusting their word. PIA also has a stellar reputation and a good UI as well.

I've been using Windscribe recently. You get a decent amount free. I paid and have caned the shit out of it ever since. It looks like there's a 5% reduction in open speed but it's simple and painless to use.

Great knowledge compendium about net privacy. Not only VPN but basically every aspect of net safety possible.
Various services comparisons, overviews etc will give at least some knowledge to any noob. Check this out even if you consider yourself a pro.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVPN
Why not become your own VPN provider? Seems a bit more advanced, but that's just illusory.
If one can read, he will be able to vpn himself in to internets :-)

Many of the free ones I know have limits, but Psiphon, a VPN + Proxy is pretty great which is also 100% free.

Viper VPN or TunnelBear is amazing!
This is the vpn that I am using not only in wallet but in most of my online activities.  You can download it from Google Play Store.  Tunnelbear vpn comes with free 100mb and if you retwittee them on twitter you get 1000mb for free for one month.  I think the monthly subscription is around $10 and you can pay in bitcoin.  It safe and more secure.  Since I have been using it,  I don't have any problems with it.  You can get started by heading Towards their website https://www.tunnelbear.com/

Hi

I must have been living under a rock, because I just found out about VPN services to protect your crypto transactions.  Roll Eyes

I've been searching the web, but there are so many of them, and I don't know which features I need.

So I am looking for a newbie-friendly (easy to set up) VPN service that is affordable and trustworthy.

All tips are welcome   Grin
You can use Hotspot sheild, HTTP injector and open vpn. Been using them even before I've joined this forum really helps me out on other stuff  and could literally hide your ip by their system just don't pick on the wrong servers.

The only VPN that I used before is IPvanish because it includes socks5 for me its non-traceable proxy or prevents scanners to scan your location and real IP. If you really wanted to hide your IP and location, for safety socks5 proxy is the best than the other anonymous IP or VPN.

You can also make your own Socks5 proxy in DigitalOcean or free trial in Amazon AWS. If you make your own Socks5 it is more safety than you are using free VPN or even paid VPN.

If you are willing to make your own socks5 proxy you can read more here How to set up socks5 Proxy on a virtual private server

Hope this will help you how to make your own socks5 proxy and always be safe and it can block any scanner or tracker to keep your IP anonymous.

The use of a VPN for crypto transactions looks much like an overkill to me if you are not doing any sinister transaction. You can switch to using privacy coins like Monero and Zcash that offer more anonymity instead.

For me the best option is Opera VPN. I don't like some extensions and extra apps and Tor that is slower than snail. Opera has build-in VPN that can be turned from settings and it's native and convenient to use. There are 4 areas to choose from, so you can instantly change your IP.

One thing to note about Opera is that it's free. Keep in mind that if a product is free, then you're the product. Opera also keeps logs of user activity, so you're basically just shifting your trust from your ISP to wherever Opera routes your data. I'm not saying it's bad though, because it still offers some protection, and it is free, but it would be counter-intuitive to try to save like $10 a month while trying to protect thousands.

Really any paid VPN service is fine, but do try to get one with a no-logs policy. Where the service is based could also be a factor, because they are subject to their respective countries' cyber privacy laws.

The safest way is undoubtedly Tor, however it's slow. If you are tired of it, look for extensions to you browser that will let you change your IP. As someone said above Opera VPN is a convenient option for those who are not paranoids.

As far as my experience for 2 years in doing cryptocurrency activities I have never used VPN. Why do you need to hide your transactions? Is it really that necessary and are you hiding something? If you are transferring a large volume like 100 btc then probably you need some VPN. But even if you use vpn they can still track your transactions using your address.

According to my advice, you can use hola and betternet for unlimited free vpn. Both are good for the newbie user.

u can use Hola as extensions with google chrome if you need free VPN..
But, why u have to use VPN for safety ? i never use it for bitcoin transaction and my account is safe, all you need is to active google authenticator for your wallet

I never used it before, but I just bumped into an article about claiming Bitcoin Rhodium (BTR), and several people mentioned using a VPN service

Hi there, you can look into Kaspersky antivirus, it comes with a trial kaspersky secure connection.
Not sure if you can buy the vpn separate.  I only used it once, but it looks like a one-click and your done vpn/vps service.

Maybe other members here are more experienced with it.
