How is the latency for such a setup? And how is the general browsing experience with said latency (I realize it also depends on which sites you frequently acces

  You spend most of the time waiting for the actual resolve to complete, not for the "transfer" time between you and VPS. Source: I'm running Unbound on my notebook, I'm actually queried the stats for some heated discussion on reddit. For example my current stats_noreset: histogram.000000.000512.to.000000.001024=17 histogram.000000.001024.to.000000.002048=33 histogram.000000.002048.to.000000.004096=251 histogram.000000.004096.to.000000.008192=509 histogram.000000.008192.to.000000.016384=1161 histogram.000000.016384.to.000000.032768=1891 histogram.000000.032768.to.000000.065536=2611 histogram.000000.065536.to.000000.131072=3197 histogram.000000.131072.to.000000.262144=2502 histogram.000000.262144.to.000000.524288=1547 histogram.000000.524288.to.000001.000000=857 histogram.000001.000000.to.000002.000000=121 histogram.000002.000000.to.000004.000000=70 histogram.000004.000000.to.000008.000000=22 histogram.000008.000000.to.000016.000000=441 histogram.000016.000000.to.000032.000000=80 As you can see most of queries are completed in a way below 500ms. Adding another 20-40ms on top that doesn't change anything, because caching is a thing and with Unbound you can even ask to actually refresh the expiring records, so you would be served a fresh one from the cache every time, though I never bothered with it, it works fine even without it.
