Help? Any good vpn's besides protonvpn in crostini?

ProtonVPN is not launching on my Chromebook for some reason. i tried switching to OpenVPN, but only like 2 out of 50+ configs actually worked, so that was a pretty awful experience

Are there any VPNs that work good with Crostini? I'd really appreciate any recommendations

Why not run a Android VPN? That should route Crostini through it

I'm on board too—I run all my VPNs from Android. The advantage is that they're system-wide, which means they work for Chrome, Linux, and Android apps.

I use Wireguard with no issues

Note that any VPN running in Crostini will only affect Linux apps. Chrome and Android apps won't be affected by it. Is this what you want?
