This is much worse than using Mullvad if you need a lot of locations, which it sounds like OP did. There are far more Mullvad exit nodes than AWS regions, and it takes mere seconds to flip between them. VPN providers have exit nodes in every major city, but there are only a handful of AWS regions. I'm not sure what trust you need--HTTPS gives you the confidence that your connection hasn't been read or modified as it passed through the VPN provider, and frankly, I trust Mullvad more than I trust AWS.

Yes if you need many-exit, DIY is going to be more painful. I’ll disagree about the trust point, though. It’s about relationships. I want as few corporate relationships as possible. If I already deal with Amazon and AWS and I can get this additional service from them, I will gladly do it over starting a new corporate relationship (iff my trust is never violated, in which case I will then rehome everything).
