So I was using proton VPN to connect to us since it has become paid is there any other alternative available?
You could try tor: Tor Project | Download
Better not using vpn at all than using free one. Vpn is free only when they want convince to buy in future or they do something nasty with users data
Sign up for an always free cloud compute instance from oracle and host your own vpn! Oracle Cloud Free Tier | Oracle
Windscribe possibly.
I need to use ssh connection as well bc my ISP blocks ssh connection for some reason
How does it compare to something like wireguard?
They block VPN ports so it doesn’t work, somehow they seem to block the protocol too but I don’t know why.
I’ve never actually tried it, but you should be able to ssh through tor using a tunnel
