If you use Oracle free tier VM, what VPN do you use?

My biggest problem with the free tier Oracle VM is that it's the ARM based version of the OS and not the AMD/x86 version that they offer.
Consequently, trying to install a VPN that has a GUI, auto-connect and a kill switch seems to be a no go.

For anyone that has this setup, I thought I'd ask what you guys use for a VPN client/service?

Get your own VPS. They barely cost 4-5$/month. Don't abuse free trials.

I already have a bunch that I use and no, none of them are for torrents.
I'd just like to add a VPN to the Oracle free Tier VM's.

The GUI apps are just a wrapper anyway. They will be configuring the VPN for you, but one can also do it manually. For the kill-switch & auto-connect, you may have to write script, but that should be a common need, and so there should be many samples available
