WARNING: Do not torrent on free VPN services.
* Free, fast, and non-malicious VPN services:
** link:https://cloudflarewarp.com/[Cloudflare WARP]
** link:https://cloudflarewarp.com/[Cloudflare WARP]; you can get the link:https://github.com/TheCaduceus/WARP-UNLIMITED-ADVANCED[paid WARP+ for free], in which the "Railway App" method is recommended.
*** Some telecoms may block this due to using the WireGuard protocol.
** link:https://www.vpngate.net/en/[VPN Gate]
*** Potentially fast depending on the server chosen, and supports the SoftEther protocol.
** https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn/[ProtonVPN Free]
*** Their link:https://protonvpn.com/vpn-servers/[paid version] is bad; P2P is not allowed all on servers, no more than 1 port can be forwarded (also exclusive to the WireGuard protocol), and they will hog up your time if you attempt a refund.
* VPN protocol comparison (only for protocols worth using):
** *WireGuard*, the fastest on reliable internet, but is easily detected by DPI firewalls.

. State all their geolocated (fake) server locations, or have none.
. All server locations allow all traffic except outbound port 25.
** P2P should never be blocked, despite also being abuse-prone.
. Ability to link:https://airvpn.org/faq/port_forwarding/[select ports to forward]; this heavily gauges if a VPN provider is good, even if you never need port forwarding.

** AirVPN, hide.me (uses UPnP; not selecting specific ports), and Mullvad have the best implementations of port forwarding as of 31 December 2021.

. SoftEther protocol support.
. No PPTP protocol support; PPTP has no security.
. If the OpenVPN protocol is supported, its tls-crypt must be supported and for the VPN provider to allow establishing connection to their servers via port 443.
** OpenVPN over SSL or SSH is mandatory for China, Iran, and Egypt.

TIP: If staying non-rooted, skip to <<2. Spoof TTL & HL>>.
NOTE: Root allows for: +
* Correctly spoofing TTL & HL for every tethered to device, without a need to spoof on the tethered to device separately. +
-> Routers however still require their own separate spoofed TTL & HL. +
* More consistent and potentially much higher network speeds.

WARNING: Root comes at the cost of security; do not leave important content (files, logins...) on a rooted device. +
If you plan on using an old phone or tablet as the rooted tethering device, check its bands and LTE category at link:https://cacombos.com[Bands & Combos]; if its LTE category is 6 or lower, don't expect good network speeds from that device for any guide.
