VPN

I ask for advice. Which VPS to choose for your own VPN for remote work?

Good day!
I had the opportunity to work remotely for a German company after a short acquaintance with the process in the office in Germany.
Accordingly, I want to work remotely outside of Germany.
In principle, they do not express direct objections, but there is also no direct answer about the possibility of authorization in a private vpn not with a German IP.
I want to completely protect myself from hypothetically possible unnecessary questions and explanations and raise my VPN on a VPS in Germany. I want to set up my VPN on my router.
So the question arose, which VPS to choose.
1. Best of all, I think that the IP VPS should be as close as possible to the widely spread providers in Germany.
2. Since I have never configured a VPN before, I would like to avoid immediately (without subsequent experiments) problems with the connection / traffic of a working VPN through my VPN.
3. The router has restrictions on the supported VPN protocols. More precisely:

It supports VPN connections according to the IPSec standard with ESP, IKEv1, and pre-shared keys. Authentication Header (AH) and Perfect Forward Security (PFS) are not supported.
Supported IPSec algorithms for IKE phase 1:
Encryption method: AES with 256, 192, 128 bit, Triple DES with 168 bit or DES with 56 bit
Hash algorithms: SHA2-512, SHA1 or MD5-96
The FRITZ!Box uses 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman initial key exchange (DH group 2). It then also accepts 768, 1536, 2048 and 3072 bits (DH groups 1, 5, 14, and 15).
Supported IPSec algorithms for IKE phase 2:
Encryption method: AES with 256, 192, 128 bit, Triple DES with 168 bit or DES with 56 bit
Hash algorithms: SHA2-512, SHA1 or MD5-96
The Diffie-Hellman group is determined by IKE phase 1
Compression: none

4. The cost of VPS, of course, is also very important (the salary, of course, is high by our standards, but not so much), but the main thing is that there are no technical problems. The minimum possible server characteristics for the most stable operation based on the goal :)

What can you advise? I want to avoid, as far as possible, the method of "trial and error" in order to work safely after returning from Germany.
A big thank you to everyone who cares!

I think so, your German level is at a normal level :) Go to the website of some German provider and take a VPS there, the most zadripanskiy one will do, but only to have an honest VPS, and not a pseudo one with a hundred users on one core. You deploy strongswan, the router seems to be not very fashionable, but AES256-CBC will probably drag it, make a proposal so that the VPS chooses protocols - you will see what suits it.
