I'm always using a proton vpn. As well as a hardened librewolf and default ironfox. I definitly get more captchas and there are some sites that don't load up, but I have yet found a site that blocks me that I'd turn the vpn off for.
Somethings to note though:
I have been suspended from esty after buying stuff, likely from the vpn. I appealed but nothing has really happened.
Youtube can be a pain, I no longer use google accounts and I don't bother using their captchs. I just shuffle around on my vpn until I'm no longer a bot.
Streaming; netflix is fine, though I stick to my home country normally.
I tried a couple of other with limited success, nowadays I only use netflix on my compy with a vanilla firefox
I think I tried Paramount and it wasn't working out. But it may have been because of it not available in my contry or something.
Disney was givin me a lot of trouble, but I think I did get it to work on my phone with the vpn once. (Had to restart the phone with Disney+ disabled first, the it worked.)
Honesty it's not that bad.
Also as I was writing this I was going list out my privacy set up, but I realized I think I've become meme.
