   I'd expect most of the consumer VPNs to use similar memory and disk   
   space. I use PIA, which costs $3.33/mo (1 yr) to 2.03/mo (3 yr) prepay.   
   They do monthly at $11.95 but you wouldn't want to do that for long!.   
   About 120M memory at the moment (Win10, several programs using it),   
   about 100M of disk space. Look for one that has WireGuard (it's the   
   most efficient protocol) and incoming port forwarding (if you need   
   that). The ability to specify apps that go "normal" rather than VPN is   
   nice (some sites block known VPN IP numbers). PIA is pretty reliable   
   though maybe once a month it'll go off (I've got 2 computers using it   
   24/7) and I'll need to change the server in use. Can't beat Proton for   
   Snowdon-level security, though PIA has had a couple of court cases   
   where they said "sorry, we don't keep records".
