When I used Proton or Mullvad I usually had to switch it on and off when needed because of so many issues with sites/games/etc. blocking me. However, the last deal I picked up was for NordVPN and that one I’ve been able to leave connected at all times without any issue.

I will never ever use Nord or any company that floods every yt channel with sponsored ads

You’re seeing ads on YT? oO

The ones the channel themselves have. Sponsor block doesn’t work all the time either if you’re referring to that
