So the VPN companies make money, and everything remains the same. Except for the people that can't afford VPN's. So, it's just fuck the poor. One more thing they need to make a monthly payment to, that they can't afford to.

Well, I'm not sure if it's advisable, but you could also use the Tor browser. At least, that's what I do to reach the pirate bay, which is blocked in my country.

I mean, ProtonVPN is non-profit and free, and anyone can download Tor. But yes, I still agree with you that it's definitely restricting people.
