It depends on the implementation. If the authentication is based on TOTP, technically you can dump the seed into any authenticator application. If the implementation is exclusive to push notifications, then you may be SOL.
What service(s) is this in regard to?
The VPN service fad is full of a LOT of great marketing campaigns, but it really isn't all it's cracked up to be. VPNs are incredibly useful for certain use cases, but for individual privacy and security it's very 'meh'.
There are a lot of methods for tracking locations other than your public IP, and so long as you're using personally identifiable accounts it doesn't really matter if your IP lists you in Panama. Unless you're using the VPN to bypass firewall restrictions on your local network, access remote resources, or establish a site-to-site connection between locations, the only thing that's really accomplished is shifting the burden of trust from the ISP to the VPN provider.
My advice, spend the money on ice cream instead. If you need to lookup something anonymously, use vanilla Tor and don't sign into any accounts that could be traced back to you while on the Tor network.

Personally, if I was going to run a non-production mail server for home use, I would use an established SMTP relay service (e.g. Mailgun) and self host the receiving bits using something like Mailcow in a VPS.
However, I am lazy so I just use Proton with a custom domain for personal use.
Thanks for recommending Florisboard! I've also been using Openboard when I stumbled on this thread. Florisboard is exactly what I have been looking for!
