I need advice on best VPN for travel (digital nomad setup)

Been freelancing from home for 2 years, finally saved enough to try the nomad life. Starting with Thailand/Vietnam/Indonesia next month. Already got scammed trying to buy a VPN (thanks fake youtube reviews), so now I'm paranoid af. Need something that actually works in Asia. Any digital nomads here? What's your setup? Really don't wanna end up calling my bank at 3am cause someone cleaned out my account from a hostel wifi 😬

Like how we tape our laptop cams but leave phones unlocked. Peak security right there ✨

Wild how these "premium" services charging 15/month when their asian servers drop connection every 30 mins. Might as well use carrier pigeons at this point
