If you have some spare cash you can look at IODD or Zalman (white label iodd) devices. USB disk drives that also emulate an optical disk drive and mount ISOs.
I bought a Zalman back over a decade ago, still have and use it to this day. Used the daily in at data centres. Bees knees. Looking at the IODD devices now for the USBC port, but the Zalman is still working flawlessly.
Always mullvad for privacy, top tier. Only know you as a number and you can pay physical cash whole os (iirc) & vpn server runs in RAM and is gone on powerloss, the best.
Unless you are trying to get around geo blocks as they publish all their servers, so it’s easier for them to get blocked https://mullvad.net/en/servers.
Or if you are using it constantly, then just go with whoever is cheapest/has the features you like as you are only hiding from your ISP, everyone else still knows.
