Is anyone interested in a guide on how to manage multiple VPNs and squid?

I'm using the FoxyProxy extension in Firefox, which lets me use multiple proxies. I just set up a stack in docker utilizing wireguard to connect to the VPN, and a pair of squid containers (because the networking is weird) to act as a proxy. Because the configs are ... complex, I'm using saltstack to automate the management. Each proxy is defined in a YAML file, and the automation loops through them to render the appropriate configs as well as the docker-compose. The keys in the configs are stored securely in salt-pillar using salt-gpg.

I realize this is a pretty obscure use-case, but I like being able to switch my web browser to exit in Canada or the UK, or even California on a whim. I DO need to add validation that checks to make sure that there aren't more than 5 active proxies in the yaml file, though.

Erm, but through all this you're only connected to one VPN server? Or to five and you switch in the browser?

Multiple. You run multiple docker containers that each provides proxy connectivity to one VPN server. You switch, in the browser, by changing the port number. Port 3128 connects to, say, a UK VPN server. Port 3129 connects to a VPN server in Asia. 3130 connects you to Canada, etc.
