There is no free-as-in-beer VPN like Let's Encrypt is for certificates, but there are lots of good ways for people to roll their own for free. One great option is Algo VPN, which should work on just about any cloud provider (or home network) in the world. :)

There's a difference between those two things, this is just proxying your traffic through a bandwidth reseller. It's dangerous to conflate these, one is just cynically shuffling bits from one untrusted network to another to extract revenue, the other actually has value.

We're on the same page about DoH, but we disagree on this. DoH encrypts a necessary hop, bandwidth reselling just moves the hop around a bit. I think you're trying to rationalize a profitable service without utility.

Sadly, not every vendor has the ability to monetize their user base with the effortless skill demonstrated by the market leader.
