Free/public VPNs are going to lag, that's to be expected. Especially ones that are made for "normies" and just have a single button to enable globally on your system instead of including options to let you choose to only route certain executables through the connection, so there's gonna be bandwidth wasted by users who want to also watch videos and/or download big stuff during prime hours.
I would recommend you to try something else. I went back to my old reliable method of just making a proxy with AWS (free 12 month trial) and launched an ec2 instance in US west-1 (N. California). I haven't experienced lag since.
