Assuming you live in the UK, what made you believe that? O haven’t seen actual DPI systems rollouts/government contracts on them.
DPI will take years to deploy regardless.

> According to Mullvad’s own statements, its censorship circumvention methods work only in its official apps.
True, but you can connect to their Wireguard servers with AmneziaWG 1.5

> The situation is the same for Proton, except for the Linux app.
Same as with mullvad

> Additionally, special setups can be made for standalone “obfs” proxies that work on Linux and OpenWRT, and their guides mention these.
obfs, tor obfuscation in general is unfortunately ineffective in today’s world. In restricted countries, people access tor over VPN.
ivpn, mullvad clients can be set up to be encapsulated by sing-box, xray, mihomo etc. Idk about Proton, haven’t tested it personally.

> I’m looking for a setup that allows me to connect my entire home network to the internet using the official apps of the VPN providers I mentioned above, so that I can enable their censorship circumvention features if needed. Through my online research, I learned that an average user like me can configure a simple Linux single board computer running 24/7 to function as a VPN gateway.
If you really want to learn about advanced networking and network censorship - go for OpenWRT + Mihomo/sing-box. If you just want things to work - vanilla Wireguard will work for any European/American.
