I run my own VPN on an EC2 instance. The main reason I do it is because even HTTPS leaks the domain names you connect to in addition to the IP address. It seems stupid to give that info to my ISP.
- aborsy 3y agoWouldn’t AWS collect the same metadata on your traffic “to deliver a better service, fight abuse and etc”? Genuine question, I don’t know. I feel like they are better than any ISP, but still monitor traffic on their networks.
