The NSA is just from taking over the internet
https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand
Streisand sets up a new server running your choice of WireGuard, OpenConnect, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, sslh, Stunnel, or a Tor bridge. It also generates custom instructions for all of these services. At the end of the run you are given an HTML file with instructions that can be shared with friends, family members, and fellow activists.

Russia has started indiscriminately blocking all OpenVPN/WireGuard connections
Unfortunately, that's to the Great Firewall of China, there has been a lot of resources put in to fingerprint VPNs and block them by state actors.
Fortunately, however, there is equally years of some of the smartest minds on the planet working to bypass Chinese censorship, so there are some great OpenVPN alternatives.
I really encourage you to look into something like Shadowsocks which Chinese people have found great success in using over the last several years.
It's quite sad that projects like Streisand[0] were archived, but I'm sure there are other alternatives that might make it just as easy to roll onto a server.

Ask HN: 2023 Alternative to the Streisand Project
The Streisand Project[0] provided easy installation of well-configured certs, VPNs and various other software on cloud instances. It was great for travelling internationally: run the script and after a few minutes one had a cloud instance and everything one needed to securely access the Internet through one’s own country.
Unfortunately, it was archived in 2021. Is there anything in 2023 which approaches it? I’ve seen Algo[1], but I don’t believe it does as much to help one to avoid packet filtering. It’s also based on Ubuntu rather than Debian, which seems like a mistake with security-conscious server software.

NRIs : Do you use Indian subscriptions abroad to save money?
It basically works like any normal VPN. Setting it up is quite easy, you just need a VPS and setup Streisand by following their guide.

I don’t want my landlord to see my website activities, any VPN recommendations? What do you think of VPN providers such as Nord, Express VPN? Is it safe to use free VPN such as Hola? I need a VPN that will not slow down my Internet speed (100M) and safe as well.
You are better off renting a cloud server and rolling your own, e.g. using Streisand, Algo or my own Edgewalker
- How to turn 256MB NAT into a VPN?
- I don't think this is much of a hacking but the internet is going to shutdown in my country and I don't know how to cross internet blockage.

How do you stay secure?
For a VPN, I use Streisand (https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand) running on a box in a datacenter in Iceland. I also occasionally use other VPNs. I turn off the VPN on my gaming PC when playing specific games.

Openstack packstack
StackHPC, who is one of the big backers of Kayobe (and Kolla-Ansible), also has a really nice project like Packstack that will deploy OpenStack for your all-in-one using nested KVM. That project is their A Universe from Nothing. I ran it on my Lenovo Thinkpad laptop and it setup OpenStack successfully. I do recommend, though, running it on a more powerful machine than a laptop, especially if you plan on provisioning instances.
What are some alternatives?
