Linux: SSH tunnel to a server, then OpenVPN through this tunnel
Raw OpenVPN is often blocked. So one simple option would be to start an SSH tunnel to the VPN server port 443 or 80 or 53 like this:
ssh -N -D 127.0.0.1:10000 -oUserKnownHostsFile=<you provide> -p 443 <username>@<vpn_host_IP> &
then
sudo openvpn location.protonvpn.tcp.ovpn
ovpn config would contain setting:
socks-proxy 127.0.0.1:10000
This costs nothing but ROI is tremendous: all users of operators where OpenVPN protocol is blocked will be yours.
