If your looking for hardware components, adafruit.com has many prebuilt modules that are (mostly) usable without soldering. There’s also sites like thepihut.com that sell similar things but from other manufactures too. There’s also mouser but that’s just for the individual components which you would have to construct a circuit for yourself.

If you have no or very little experience then you’ll likely find it more difficult than you expect, make sure you know what your doing and try to find exact instructions for everything. Basically don’t try to design or modify things yourself.

I like to tinker with it and the lack of restrictions on low level stuff. The ability to completely change anything about he system that is restricted on other platforms. No data is sent from the system unless you actively enable it. Its stable, I have a raspberry pi that can run for months without error whereas windows bluescreened once every 2 weeks with regular usage. Its free.

Openvpn is a protocol that other vpns can use, the speed and quality would still depend on what provider you use. A provider would provide a config file that would include all the info required by openvpn to create the connection, as long as they include that then you could use openvpn.

gog-games.com even better though
