Yes. I run several types of VPNs and shadowsocks on a VPS host. I mainly use it to bypass GFW though.
Of course, trusting the VPS provider and its ISP is no different than trusting a VPN provider and its ISP.
- bigiain 11y agoOn the other hand, while your VPN or VPS provider may be no more trustworthy than your local ISP, it's _much_ easier to switch VPN providers - and you can arrange to have them in a different jurisdiction as well - If my net connection is through a proxy server in the Netherlands run by a company from Germany in a datacentre owned by a Japanese firm and I'm in Australia browsing websites in the US - there's a lot of legal hoopjumping needed to get to me.
