Digital Ocean droplet and Tailscale?
- shoaki 2y agoThe author specifically excludes "Company VPNs" and VPNs to "phone into your home network" from the scope of the article.
- gruez 2y agoThe "DIY VPN" is worse for 3 reasons: 1. it's more expensive than commercial VPNs, which you can often get for <$3/month, or even less with promos/cashback sites 2. you're limited to one region, which means you can't use it as effectively for geoblock evasion purposes. 3. you get less anonymity because you get a static ip that's assigned to you only, as opposed to a commercial VPN provider where you can connect to hundreds/thousands of servers each of which are used by probably hundreds of users.
- coppsilgold 2y agoIf a VPN provider doesn't keep logs and if their routes to you are not being tapped for packet timing correlation then they are superior in privacy to DIY VPNs due to them laundering your connections/packets with multiple other people.
