Just fire up a VPS instance and set up a VPN on it. It's much cheaper, you get more control over it and it's dedicated to you so less crowded traffic. e.g. Vultr instance is just $3.5 a month and they're pay by the hour. There's many one-key VPN script. So set up is easy too.



I agree with everything except "it's much cheaper" - Private Internet Access, for example, is $3.33/mo. if you pay annually. A DO instance running Algo or Streisand will be $5/mo. I know Vultr offers some even cheaper VPS tiers, but they have more limited bandwidth (500G/mo. - which might or might not be problem, depending on how much traffic you wanted to send through them).


It's not hard to find $1/month OpenVZ VPS on lowendbox forum. I'm using one with I think 2TB/month of traffic, more than enough for my blog...


Hetzner $3/mo and 20TB traffic? Seems to be reasonable.


ovh? Their S1-2 instance is only $3.5 a month and has 100mbps unmetered bandwidth.
