Maybe a dumb question but are than any reputable VPN services that have a Louisiana server location?

I want to be able to watch Saints games and pelicans games through Youtube TV without having to go through reddit.

So far i looked at NordVPN and ExpressVPN and unless im missing something they dont have one.

If im offbase here please let me know.

Thanks.

So big question here but does anyone trust VPNs? I get why people use them to download stuff and be pirates. However, if you're doing it strictly for security (which I've thought about), do you actually trust them?

Or if I phrase the question differently, why does anyone trust a VPN company more than their ISP or anyone else? I've read articles lately that VPNs are the new thing getting hacked or spied upon and getting info on users.
Who's to say that those VPN companies don't track you more than Cox, ATT, Google, Apple, etc?
Are we just trading 1 evil for another?

I actually don't know the answer, so truly asking here to people that know more on the topic than I do.

I did research at the time I chose a VPN and I chose ExpressVPN based upon multiple reviews.

So far, two years in, I'm pleased. Doesn't disconnect, I can always find a fast and reliable server and the program updates constantly (for improvements).

He said reputable though and they are far from that. I'd never use them.

There are reputable ones, thatoneguysprivacysite.com (or something similar to that anyway) has an extensive breakdown of all the VPN's worldwide. You could do some research on there and find out OP.

As far as are they trustworthy, sure, to an extent. Some have been audited and proven by court cases not to log addresses and info. But they're not meant to be used for true anonymity. A VPN's purpose is to simply hide from your own ISP what traffic is. Or get around geoblocks, which is hard to do as the IPs become known.

TLDR, Mullvad is considered the "best" right now, though it is not as newbie friendly as a PIA is. And it certainly doesn't have servers in LA.

You have to be careful with the VPN you choose. Remember if it is free (or even absurdly cheap) you are probably the product.

IVPN has been good for years. It isn't cheap, but incorporated, based, and run in privacy minded locations.
