Just going to throw this out there for anyone who is hesitant using a vpn managed by another service. You can set up your own easily using the ansible scripts provided by trailofbits, which supports both IPSEC and wireguard.

a small DO (Digital Ocean) instance is only $5 a month and comes with 1TB outbound bandwidth (last I checked), which ends up being cheaper than most commercial offerings.

On their patreon goal of $1600/month : "We can start working on an easy-to-use mobile app that let people deploy their own VPN server without touching a terminal window."

Damn, that would be so cool.

I hadn't heard about that yet. Will have to look into it.
Or host it for free in one of Oracle's cloud 'always free' tier VMs.

"Oracle" and "free" in the same sentence? Has hell finally frozen over?
Cool. Didn't know about free oracle vm. Thanks
Does it have public IP?
It does
Oracle? Yikes.
