Has anyone got a good VPN for Mageia?

I've tried both NordVPN and PIA. PIA installs, but gets the dreaded
messed up DNS.

I can't even install the latest NordVPN due to missing dependencies, and
the older version seems to hang when trying to connect.

Any solutions for either PIA or Nord are welcome, or suggestions for VPN
software would also be good.

Thanks

See if https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Configuring_OpenVPN_with_ProtonVPN_in_Mageia
helps.

I installed NordVPN about 3 years ago. If you believe the video
channels, they are all pretty unnecessary, or you can write your own. I
don't find movies very interesting, and there are a few Kodi add-ons,
such as the Oath, that are completely legal.

Has nothing to do with media use or downloads. I am transitioning my
laptop to Mageia and want security when I use third-party wifi.
