@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.
@freemo Looks interesting but fundamentally owned and operated by somebody else. Honestly, I might do that write up because hosting your own isn't as scary as it sounds. I think I typed five install commands and edited a configuration file, that's all. But thanks for the link anyhow.
