"i do run a VPN on my windows os- but not on my linux one- not sure how on linux"

Some VPNs provide clients for Linux, but there are various ways to configure Linux to work with VPNs without the clients provided by VPNs (Network Manager, command line interface in a terminal, etc.). Use a search engine to find tutorials, wikis and the like. If you want to use Wireguard instead of OpenVPN, though, you'll need a new enough Linux kernel. OpenVPN works fast enough, if you're not trying to install and use it in a tiny router with a slow CPU.

Thanks, ill definitely check out how to do that, been wanting to run a vpn on Linux, but haven’t looked into it yet.

I have nortons vpn on windows which I pay for, I doubt they have a Linux version, but I’ll have to check.
