I would recommend a third party VPN service located in a foreign country (which is what I use) -
If I use Windows 100% all the time, then Software based VPN will be my choice. When I use 80% Linux and gaming on Win 10.Arrrrbol likes this. -
@Vasudev In my opinion paying your ISP for VPN service defies the point of VPN. It becomes more of a proxy server to spoof your location at best.
Configuring VPN might not be that hard though - I use VPN.ac as a VPN provider as I think does @Phoenix and they provide a very nice app that pretty much requires no configuration. Same for Android, can't say anything about Linux
Configuring OpenVPN to work on a router is a terrible experience - I've managed to get it working on DD-WRT and I'm still fighting a losing battle against OpenWRT. Once I'm done with it I will post a guide in the networking forum though.Arrrrbol, Spartan@HIDevolution, saturnotaku and 1 other person like this. -

I use VPN.ac as well. They have a Chrome extension, which is awesome because it allows me to bypass my office firewall. It also doesn't take over the entire Internet connection like the app does, so I can maintain full speeds when downloading Steam games and whatnot.

@Vasudev If your router supports OVPN configuration files and OpenVPN client that might be a way to go, or not - depends on how fast your internet connection is and if the router is capable fo handling encryption at this speed.
This has an added bonus of covering all of your devices including Smart TVs or NAS servers that can't install VPN themselves. -

@Vasudev That could be a nice setup assuming Netgear firmware works with OVPN config files and has an OpenVPN client setup (most routers only work as a VPN server).
If it does not work on your stock firmware, don't go OpenWRT route though. You will regret this, the way I am doing now. -

Since then, I've been using hide.me
it's night and day faster than VPN.AC with no disconnections. -

This is what your ISP can see about you
