How about ProtonVPN? They are free-ish but only to a certain extent so you could also say they are a paid product as well. Are they decent for this task?

I am currently using Fedora and have been eyeing Debian for a while. Just curious which one do you think would be closer to fedora between sid and testing? And when a new major version of gnome drops, about how many months would it take before its available for sid & testing?
