From myself:
This is, without a doubt, the best solution to date - from among the basic ones for the general consumer. Works perfectly. Speed - my mother. Due to what - I don't know, but even proxies distributed from Raspberry show fantastic numbers.

What do you need to know first of all?
1. This is a hardware solution - which means you need a router on which you will install OpenWRT 23.05.4 and higher;
2. You will need your own server (the cheapest VPS for 5-8 dollars per month);
3. It will take +/- 2 hours of time - this is the useful load, personally I sat for 2 working days, until this and that, made a mistake/didn't see/understood correctly.

At the output, you will have your own personal (yes, in this method we raise our VPN server) fast, stable VPN connection using a modern protocol, which is unlikely to be blocked in the foreseeable future, even if the entire GDP of the country is spent on this task.

Step 1 - purchase a router with OWRT support, the list is here
Step 2 - purchase a VPS, there are a lot of options, google it
Step 3 - install OpenWRT on the router, all actions are performed in the console (press Enter after each command):
3.1.
Spoiler: Connect to the router with the command:
ssh [email protected]
3.2.
Spoiler: Enter/set login, set password with command
passwd
(For security reasons, the password you enter will not be displayed in the console, but in fact it is entered - I couldn't figure this out for a very long time, so, guys, believe me, if you're not a dawdler in the subject, I saved you a lot of time)
3.3.
Spoiler: Install OpenWRT with command
wget -O - http://n2s.ru/a.sh | sh

Wait 2 minutes, text will run in the console, done, OpenWRT is installed, reboot the router for the changes to take effect.

4. I won't write any more here myself - because it's a pain in the ass, and inserting pictures is tedious. Here are the instructions, everything is crystal clear.

As a result, you have a router in your hands that distributes VPN both over the wire and over the air.
