Hi there guys! I'm a bit newer to the Proxmox scene but am enjoying what it has to offer so far.

What I'm looking to do is set up a VPN connection to the company I subscribe to (Proton) so that I could designate that VPN connection to the container or VM that I would happen to spin up. Would it be easier/more beneficial to set up that VPN connection through the VM/Container or as a host network - Where would one look to start to settting that up? I can seem to find setting up my own VPN server but I'd rather just use what I'm paying for right now.
 
I'm not sure what your use case is.
Do you want to use a VPN to connect to your internal network?
Or do you want to use this ProtonVPN to access external networks

Thank you for taking the time to reply back, I appreciate it!

I am looking to connect to the servers that are provided to me as I have a paid subscription with them. I'd just like to connect to their servers
 
And you want to have all VM and CT connect through that VPN?
Then I would suggest you create a bridge, put a router in there to act as gateway, make it connect to your VPN automatically (https://protonvpn.com/support/installing-protonvpn-on-a-router/) and all VM/CT on that bridge will use the VPN through the router.


Using a VPN won't magically secure your internet, even if VPN providers seem to advertise it that way.
I suggest you resarch if using a VPN for every guest is really what you want
