   And, for that 'minor' purpose (to me) 'any old' free VPN or proxy will   
   do, as long as its country options aren't too limited and as long as the   
   user isn't trying to do something the VPN doesn't do.   
      
   For example, Proton free doesn't do P2P/BitTorrent.   
      
   I 'mess with' free VPNs for the experience of working w/ setting up the   
   protocol w/ linux, such as wireguard or openvpn; but I don't 'routinely'   
   use a vpn at all.   
      
   I'm more likely to want to work around/defeat a paywall than a geo block.
