First, you don't really need a VPN to view Plex content. Plex can be configured to require a secure connection. That ought to be enough. But if you want the VPN tunnel for some reason, the answer is simple: self-host your own VPN server. I recommend OpenVPN or Wireguard.
The vpn was a general privacy and security addition. I just have it on all the time. I’ll look into wireguard.
You can also try tailscale which is easy to set up, but their wireguard implementation is quite a bit slower (latency).
