Thanks for all of the input so far. Keep the suggestions coming.

Also, the ideal service provider should have a very strong policy about not
turning over my information if questioned. (rules out Amazon, etc)

If you use TOR as a transparent proxy, the speeds you get are much better.
The circuits dont get constantly rebuilt.

You could run a TOR node on a VPS and use the VPS as your VPN concentrator.
Then all traffic over the VPN could be then anonymized.

I have no experience with any commercial VPN solutions that claim to mask
your traffic. I'd be a little suspicious of that honestly.

Hi,
Depends what your needs are. TOR offers anonymity at the expense of
speed. SSH tunneling provides point-to-point encryption, as does an
IPSec VPN e.g. FreeS/WAN. There are anonymiser services that offer web
proxies but don't encrypt your traffic. Your goals affect the choice
of solution best for you.

My goal is to remain anonymous online whilst not sacrificing bandwidth.
Something like IPREDator, possibly. https://www.ipredator.se/?lang=en
Google searches for this have proved futile as most results are
spam/seedy
companies.
TIA
