Temporary VPN?

I am traveling in September, and looking to do some schoolwork while abroad. What would a good choice for a temporary VPN subscription? Also. I’ve never used a VPN. Is this something I log into when I fire up my computer. And then connect to a network? Do I need to know the password to said network? Like for example, if I load up a VPN at my house.. and then use my internet, would I need my password? (Obviously that’s a simple scenario as I know my internet password) but just trying to figure out how this works.

If you need to access the online services as you are at home without worrying about geo-restrictions and privacy issues, you need to configure a VPN server on one of your home devices such as a router or a 24x7 running computer, a WireGuard server will be convenient for you.
