These are two options for your own vpn , both under $5
Own VPN here means, you are the only one using it, you own the logs, you can wipe it at the end of every day and start from scratch the next day.
both these do the same as ALGO , but in a slightly more user friendly manner. ALGO and similar scripts are better because, when you reset the VPN ( turn it off and on again ), the script pretty much deletes everything that it had set up in the "
cloud" and starts from scratch, including keys ( most keys ).
- The cheapest $5 shared CPU , Nanode 1 GB will suffice as long as its just one user, you.
- The cheapest digitalocean droplet you can swing works
Plenty of walk through videos on youtube. The thing you need to choose is if you wanna use WireGuard or OpenVPN ... Its like picking Vanilla ice cream or Chocolate ice cream , at the end of the day both are ice cream. Both will be detected by the ISP / Government if they really start looking.
Only you can decide whats your threat model.
AWS or Azure is more expensive but every app / service use them, so your traffic gets lost in the crowd.
I recommend listening to this episode of the privacy podcast which focuses about problems with VPNs just to understand what I mean by
threat model
If you are really up to something nefarious , don't. But if you want real privacy, don't set up an AWS account with your own private VPN that has all the secure bells and whistles, but pay for it all with your own credit card
, use a gift card from the gas station two counties over , that you paid for in cash.
Good luck , and if anyone has a better explanation or suggestions please post them.
