I don't understand why everyone assumes using a VPN means paying for a third party. I have Wireguard deployed in my NAS and I always have that VPN connection active on my phone to be able to access my LAN deployed services remotely, Jellyfin for example.
It's also worth mentioning that the VPN in question, Proton, offers one of the best free tiers of any VPN company.
Agreed. I've used it, and it's perfectly fine for normal web browsing. In fact, I added it to my router a while ago to test it out, and I'm considering leaving it on as a "secure" SSID so we can use it for things that my state requires ID for (e.g. porn and social media).
