Run PiVPN on an t2.nano on AWS. Takes 15 minutes to set up. $5 / month for the instance and 9 cents / GB. Turn off logging. Will cost you a bit more than real VPN services but is completely private.
How is this private? You literally get a private IP directly tied to your AWS account, and by extension your CC.
An actual attempt at privacy would involve chaining at least two VPNs and paying anonymously. Starts to look a lot like TOR, doesn’t it?
This issue with VPNs is, as the article states, people will just use them to log in to Facebook. It’s like putting on fake nose and glasses while at the same time wearing a t-shirt with your name and social security number.
However VPNs are brilliant for getting around horrible ISP, e.g. to participate in P2P networks. In that case, paying for GB is not very ideal.
