Not really what OP asked for
ovpn is pretty good so far and supports port forwarding. You can easily create wireguard configs for your system.
OVPN and WG are protocols, not providers.

Huh, TIL. Did they hire the same people to make their site as Mullvad lol

Openvpn. Only time I’ve used something else has been due to work requirements.
Proton VPN has Arch installers for their client but they also gives you the option to connect via OpenVPN so that you can use whatever client you want.
I don’t know if it’s the best, but proton vpn exists in a flatpak that works without issue. That’s what I use.
Mullvad is the best option.
It’s cheap, they respect your privacy, and it should already be in the AUR if you are on any Arch based distro.
With the exception of limiting how many Wireguard configs you can have, only 5.
I use Mullvad and have never had a problem… but they have just stopped allowing port forwarding if that matters to you
Mullvad from the AUR, it’s great.
just use nmcli to import your vpn profiles either openvpn or wireguard

“Mullvad” with “NextDNS” is my fav combination now. For connecting to my personal servers and network at home, I use WireGuard.
I’m miffed that mullvad did away with recurring subscriptions, so you have to remember to refill the account if you have stuff relying on it.
Yes that’s correct… I don’t really have anything relying on my connections 24/7 so that’s not an issue for me personally.
I’ve reliably used Torguard for at least 15 years. They have clients for many Linux distros, including Arch.
PIA for Linux. You download a
.run
file and install it. It also install a CLI commandpiactl
if you are into scripting. You can use either a Wireguard or OpenVPN connection. You can also do port forwarding.Torguard has by far the most feature-packed client for Linux that I’ve tried. It can kill applications when the VPN disconnects, and you can define scripts you want to run before, during, or after a VPN connection is established.
I like Proton VPN. If you’re on Arch you can download and build their client from the AUR, or by using Pacman. I just use their client, but if you prefer you can also connect via OpenVPN and use something else.
I also use Proton VPN as well as Proton mail, Calendar and drive (proton cloud storage). I am also on arch and quite satisfied with Proton.
Some flavor of Wireguard.
Since you insist on a Flatpak, ProtonVPN has a Flatpak client
