This is out of scope for this project for a number of reasons. I don't use VPNs myself but I assume you can just install an extension.

If you're on Flatpak, keep in mind that there is a bug that causes manually set proxies to not work properly. The issue also impacts those "VPN" extensions.

@networkException it might be a silly question, but how do I install an extension.

Please check https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-wiki/faq#can-i-install-extensions-or-themes-from-the-chrome-webstore (or go straight to https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store if you want to install them directly from the Chrome Web Store).

chrome://ungoogled-first-run/ page, how-to section, install and update extensions part, describing the process, might also be helpful, pointing to the same pages @tomasz1986 linked to.
