Its not that difficult, i have mine set up with gluetun and I've been using for more than 1 year now, sometimes i have some problem with the search terms and every engine gets broken but i just need to search with another name
Usually if this happens for me it's an issue with the gluetun end, since all the big names love to throttle known VPNs. Fixes itself after a few minutes, but if I'm not feeling lazy a quick stack restart tends to fix it too.
