I'd be interested in a more reputable one as well. As in not injecting malware nilly-willy into my traffic. I'd appreciate if you could name some.

I think we are between a rock and a hard place here. I'd be willing to use a VPN in a non-cooperating country to evade state surveillance, but it is hard to make sure that you don't fall prey to non-state (or even maybe state) actors.
