No.  openvpn is a very common routine for VPN service, but not the only one.

You have a paid account at purevpn which offers openvpn as one choice of 
a mode of its operation/use.

I have a free account at protonvpn which I use to experiment w/ openvpn. 
  I don't think proton offers alternatives other than openvpn. 
(Reported to be testing wireguard.)

purevpn doesn't have very good instructions for linux, but it has a 
really lot of them as well as a .deb package.  protonvpn doesn't have 
many instructions nor a .deb package, but they have a python script and 
their instructions and python script work.

I understand.

In this case, I believe the pure problem is that they have a better 
solution for Win.  Their linux info is haphazard and very old/ out-dated.

I understand the concept.

You can copy and paste in the command line.

The command line also has a history, so you can arrow key up to some 
previous command and tweak/change it.
