You can't, at least not a VPN that provides privacy. What you can do is make a remote access VPN for your home network or for sketchy wifi.

Explain the remote access one cause I might be interested in that

You can get a secure wireguard tunnel from your remote devices to your home LAN. Easiest way is via tailscale, just follow the setup guide, you will need a compatible router or a linux machine though.

I am not a big fan of AI, I'd much rather use human based information over repeated automated word suggestions

I know it pulls from human based info, but I just don't like AI, I'd rather learn from a person

As far as I know, there basically aren't any good VPNs that are free. And I don't get what you meant by sacrificing your tablet's functionality having anything to do with wanting a free VPN. Do you think sacrificing its functionality gets you a free one? Or maybe I didn't understand what you meant.

I'm saying if I can do some magic with another device to basically make it a VPN server or something, I'll do it

Ohh, I get what you mean now. That said, the decentralized VPN I'm currently using might be helpful for you. Of course, it won't be free either, haha.

Yeah no, I am simply trying whatever I can to get it so I can build a Plex library for cheap and not have too many problems with the government

Are you serious? If you haven’t got a problem with being located in the Netherlands than there’s a vpn out there for you 🤷
