@freemo The argument for a private VPN for all grows. I have one in S America courtesy of an EC2 on AWS. Costs about £10/month to run, completely mine, OpenVPN configuration that means it's one click to connect from my laptop. Useful for scihub and torrents since the UK gov have seen fit to mandate all ISPs block certain sites. Took about a hour to sort out, I'll write up the process one of these days.
@hangableautobulb Well no its still hosted by you in the same sense.. it rusn on EC2 on your own account.. only difference they give you a script that automates bringing up and tearing down the server.
@freemo Serves me right for not reading the info in the link properly! I retract my comments... I'll look through it more carefully :)
