I use Proton VPN now and have for some time. It's a nice free service and one of the things I like about it is how it selects the fastest server to connect me to the web. There is a problem with that sometimes because it runs into permissions issues that don't affect me here in metroparkcentralis but are, for instance, a hassle in Texas and verbotten in Germany but on the other hand I get something like a blessing.
I really loathe what youtube did with advertising. I don't watch them, ever. Now when I'm up on a Japanese or German network server and get a yen to link to youtube to see what my attention is being invited to, the ads are made for Japanese and Germans and they are very restful and relaxing. I have no idea what they're saying and most of the time cannot figure out what they're advertising but since I don't care this is all a win/win!
Again, ymmv.

Try ADBLOCKER ULTIMATE - it blocks u-toob ads for me.
I don't go to the YouTube app, I go to YouTube.com. No ads!
Not sure where you got your information, but VPNs are not forbidden in Germany. I live in Germany and also use Proton's free version.
VPNs are completely legal in Germany. Currently, no legislation exists against VPN usage within the country. This means you can use one without having to worry about any legal consequences, but there are some exceptions. If you conduct illicit activities behind a VPN, you're still breaking the law.
If you go to this website (https://livetrafficfeed.com/ip-widget) you can watch your IP change every time you change server using a VPN.
Just so you know my previous post about livetraffic is legit, you can see the widget incorporated on the "The View from Lady Lake" blog website.
