my recommendation is hiring a cheap but decent VPS from somewhere outside jurisdiction and installing wireguard on it if you are handy with the linux shell it's easy using this: once you set up the one on the VPS, you can add a client, and for mobile devices it conveniently generates a QR code, which the mobile WG client can quickly add a new connection with my experience is that less well known IP addresses don't get messed with so much by web server spam filtering systems probably best to use tor to establish the accounts on these sites to make sure the payment servers don't tag you - the service I use has LN support via btcpay, which is pretty much anonymous as XMR would be, for those who think XMR is the bees knees, LN over tor is actually better because it doesn't leave a permanent trace on the blockchain at all i'm not so concerned about them knowing who i am, but even still they have bogus details in their database and i'm in control of at least my part of the VPN's logging on the wireguard side

Thanks a lot for sharing this setup. Do you think it's going to work on Open BSD? It is not listed in the list of supported distributions. I'm running a Bitcoin node, pruned, on Vultr, on Open BSD, for $5 a month. I selected Open BSD for low resources needs, high security and low maintenance reasons. If I could also try my own VPN on it, it would be nice.
