Hi John,

You can create or set up a VPN from your computer's Control Panel or from the
Settings. Before you start creating one, you need to have the following:

• VPN server name or address
• VPN protocol
• Username and password to connect to the VPN server

To set up the VPN connection on your Windows 10, kindly follow the steps below:

• Click on the Start button and in the Start menu, click on Settings.
• Click Network and Internet.
• Select on VPN in the left pane to see the related settings.
• Click on the ‘+’ icon that says Add a VPN connection.
• Now provide the information needed in creating a VPN.
  
  a. VPN Provider, choose Windows Default
  
  b.Connection name
  
  c. Server name or address
  
  d.VPN type (use PPTP since it is most commonly used protocols for
  VPNs)
• Once done, click Save.

After you're done creating the VPN, you will see three options on the VPN window.
Connect(lets you connect to the VPN), Advanced Options(takes you to a windows where you can configure proxy) and
Remove(will let you remove the VPN connection).

AirVPN

In contrast to all the big names such as IPVanish, TorGuard, Hide My Ass!, PIA etc, AirVPN has been the most useful in terms of performance, cost, privacy and service.

• No torrent (or other format) throttling
• No region/server locking
• Full server stats live, with reports and repair ETAs
• Packages include complete tunneling and multiple protocols
• Can be setup for virtually any platform(including a easy to use Windows package)[also user guides exist for bespoke arrangements, such as pfSense, which I run]
• Their website/user portal is very thorough and flexible. You can build custom VPN configuration files
• Cost is extremely good for what you get
• Service is often quick and prompt
• Forums are active
• They tick all the privacy qualifications, no record keeping
