Just curious, if you already have decent hosting couldn't you just implement this by installing openvpn on your existing virtual machine (or whatever)? Is there anything which specifically requires EC2?



There's nothing specific to EC2. You could do the same thing with any hosted machine you have root access to.


I guess you just have to be careful of bandwidth overage. Don't use it with Netflix too much.


The same caveat about bandwidth usage applies to EC2. You have to pay (twice in & out) for EC2 traffic.
