so, I have tried all kinds of VPN possible in the App Store, and the only one that used to work was X-VPN but now it just says it cannot connect anymore.
my school blocks most of the websites and social media apps like Snapchat, Instagram, etc.
is there a way Jailbreak can facilitate the bypass?
Jailbreak won’t help you. If you’re good with computers you can make your own VPN using OpenVPN to connect to your house over port 443 or 80 which can’t be blocked by your school (if they blocked it they’d have to block all internet traffic). You can also get an Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform trial account and set up your own VPN. It’s a little complicated, but if you’re good with linux and computers is a breeze. Here’s a link to how to get it running once you have an instance/computer running: How To Set Up an OpenVPN Server on Ubuntu 18.04 | DigitalOcean
Most school networks use basic web filtering and proxying and port blocking for both lan and wifi. There’s a pretty good chance all you need to do is find a VPN provider that hosts on port 443 (many do) and connect using IP instead of hostname.

Back in my day you had to bypass it with a county school board vpn (some tech savvy employees may know what it is in your case) and you had to input the proxy into the schools WiFi settings on your phone. Keep at it, you’ll get it
Most simple way is to get a private internet access VPN, if I remember correctly when I used to use them they offered a selection of ports to connect through including port 80 which is impossible for your school to block.
also, I was thinking about creating a server on my PC and an app that would automatically connect to my server (just like another VPN app) because some of my friends really need the bypass… would that be viable?
