I would go with Proton VPN.

Proton has a nice ecosystem going on with Mail, Calendar, Drive, VPN and Pass (password manager).

It’s free with a basic plan and you can get a premium membership for 9.99$/month.

They accept Bitcoin.

It’s for me a turn key one-stop shop.

They have onion site (tor) and APK files if you want to side load on Android.

You should at least check it out!
