I was going to comment with this. I have a VPS and have thought about running a VPN from there. This would protect me from a whole lot of man in the middle attacks as well as preventing the ISP's on snooping in on my traffic. However, another big advantage to a VPN for me is anonimity, not directly giving the site information on who you are. If you were to set this up and use it just for you it's not unthinkable that government organisations like the NSA in Amerika and the AIVD in my homecountry of the Netherlands could identify you pretty easily. For that I use Private Internet Access[1] right now, they claim to have patched a lot of the important software to have no logging, so they can't keep them. They also share IP addresses between customers which means the IP address is not a form of identification anymore. Their site looks like shit, I agree, but the service is pretty great.
