From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can create a VPN through HTTPS. Bad idea performance-wise, but it's harder to detect.
Use a VPN with a circumvention protocol like Stunnel. Windscribe has a 'stealth' mode using it.
You can rent a server and run OpenVPN on that server on port 443. Maybe even with port sharing so that the server can act like a regular webserver too.
It's easier to trace the traffic back to you if the server runs in your name but it's pretty hard to tell that you are using VPN if you aren't connecting to a known VPN provider.
Basically nothing changes, they're easy to circumvent

you don't need to dl a vpn app, or even pay to use some vpns. Being german or american gets you treated the best by websites, except youtube which treats southeast asian countries better
