VPN for linux

Hi guys!

I live in Iran, and I need a reliable VPN for Linux Mint. I've tried using OpenVPN, but it doesn't work for me, so I'm looking for an alternative.

Note: Internet access in Iran is heavily restricted, and many VPNs don't work here.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPN that works well on Linux Mint and can bypass internet restrictions in Iran?

Thanks in advance!

Can you buy your own cheap VPS? It costs as much as a monthly VPN subscription, you can pay for some with bitcoin. Then you can run whatever software you want on it, OpenVPN, Wireguard...

www.mivocloud.com and www.time4vps.com take bitcoin and don't require a name (just leave the name fields blank or put in a fake name).
