I might be wrong about EC2 pricing, but at least for me, ~$11 per region is not "almost-zero-cost". Unless we're talking about on demand instances.
I wonder if there is a community run VPN service to utilize instances more efficiently.

At least not in the global context. GDPR only applies to you _if_ you happen to be a European Union citizen.
- tzs 7y ago> GDPR only applies to you _if_ you happen to be a European Union citizen There's nothing in GDPR that has anything to do with EU citizenship. 1. GDPR applies to the processing of personal data if the controller or processor is "in the Union", regardless of where the person whose personal data is being processed resides, and regardless of where the processing takes place. 2. It applies to any data subject that is "in the Union". All the places in it that you might have expected it to say "Union citizen" instead say "in the Union".
