And there probably are some free ones which still sell access to your home network/computer. Let’s protect kids harder by pushing them to download sketchy software!
When I tried free Proton I could get up to 600Mbps.
It should be noted for everyone else that this is very likely bullshit, and even if it’s not, your speeds depend entirely upon how full the server is and won’t be that fast most of the time. Proton’s free tier is known for being absolute garbage most of the time, bordering on unusable.

Well, yeah, they can. I don’t agree with this, to be clear, but surely they can. Plus there’s some free ones, including ProtonVPN.

Certainly not. When I tried free Proton I could get up to 600Mbps. That is very usable.
Furthermore, some can be purchased via other methods like cash (Mullvad, IVPN, Proton). I am sure they can buy postage stamps and send mail.
And Mullvad vouchers are also sold physically in few stores based on their website, though only in Sweden (Inet, Webhallen) and Germany (ProxyStore).
Lastly, kids can also have their own debit cards too, or just steal their parent’s. OR, there’s stuff like Visa gift cards.

Tested with SANET (Slovak academic network).
It’s an old result, tried with exit IP 89.187.164.251.
I tried to search it up, it is shown in one list of ProtonVPN addresses on Google, but the GitHub site gives 404.
Edit: Wireguard, I should add.
