I will do both. Put your computer on a router, even if it is alone, because they can see one past the modem. That way they can only see the router, and NOT the computer.
I intend to use the VPN on the Anrdoid tablet (since the free one is only one device.
But I have run two decades without viruses or malware with Ubuntu!
That's what always attracted me to it but getting on VPN is a great step to take also.
Ubuntu will self install, and leave your OS intact. It will let you choose which to run, when you boot the computer.
:)>That is super slick! If you use Ubuntu do you still need the security of a VPN?

The modem may be built in.
I should have this Monday:

That sounds real cheap for such an item.
Ubuntu is open sourced. They can not charge you for the software, only the flash drive and copy costs. Always been free....
