some routers will support it natively, but i don't think most do. some security minded friends have this https://store.pfsense.org/SG-1000.aspx which sits in between your router and the net and allows you to configure VPNs among other things.
another thing to keep in mind is that some sites will block any VPN users coming from certain providers, which can become annoying if you have it on all the time

i've used private internet access to avoid location restrictions, for which it has worked fine. i can't speak to its security
iirc there are routers with baked-in vpn but they aren't cheap

unless you're running it yourself, no VPN is 100% trustworthy. you're pretty much taking their word that they're not logging/harvesting your data/doing something horrendous like letting someone piggyback off your real connection - that's part of the risk you're running with free vpns.
I don't trust any vpn 100% but I inherently distrust free ones - who knows what they're doing with your data to pay the bills? see hola for example: http://www.techradar.com/news/networking/-hola-if-your-vpn-was-busted-selling-your-bandwidth-for-botnets-1295421
also worth checking to see if they replace your root certificate like cyberghost does/did as you definitely don't want that - https://www.bestvpn.com/what-the-hell-is-cyberghost-up-to/
basically, read as much as you can, and determine the risk that's acceptable to you.
I use PIA but not for personal things like banking. server speeds are great and there's a big range of locations.
fyi, if you are American and thinking about getting a vpn in light of the ISPs selling your data - while obviously a disgrace, the policy isn't new and in fact they have been able to do it for years now. still creepy af, obviously, but it's not as though the law was previously in force to prevent it happening.
