I use strongswan on my phone and on a "server" at home to which said
phone connects to save me from the perils other peoples wifi..... took a
little bit of setting up (problems with getting let's encrypt certs
working at first) but seems to work fairly well now.

Hi,
On the general topic of VPN software, rather than using a third-party
service, I've found these two projects interesting in the past.
https://www.strongswan.org/
‘runs on Linux 2.6, 3.x and 4.x kernels, Android, FreeBSD, OS X, iOS
and Windows’
‘The focus of strongSwan is on
simplicity of configuration
strong encryption and authentication methods
powerful IPsec policies supporting large and complex VPN
networks
modular design with great expandability’
‘The maintainer of the strongSwan project is Andreas Steffen, who is
a professor for security in communications and head of the Institute
for Networked Solutions at the University of Applied Sciences
Rapperswil in Switzerland’
http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/gvpe.html
‘GVPE creates a virtual ethernet network with multiple nodes using a
variety of transport protocols. Participating nodes do not need to
trust each other.’
‘Unlike other virtual private "network" solutions which merely create
a single tunnel, GVPE creates a real network with multiple
endpoints.’
Cheers, Ralph.
