VPN
If you are feeling adventurous and are comfortable on the command line, try setting one up yourself. You need a server that is not in your own home of course! Not much point in that. You don’t want a managed server either. You need full control of this puppy. I looked around and found that Digital Ocean provided just the thing I was looking for. I was able to spin up an Ubuntu 18.04 server droplet and set up the VPN using their very clear instructions.
You still have to trust that they are not farming your data too and they might be. They are not selling themselves as a VPN provider so they may not be geared to collect and sell your data. Just don’t go breaking the law, you will most surely get caught.
You can’t watch Netflix through it so don’t expect to. Neflix can detect your VPN as many people have made this move and Netflix has flagged many Digital Ocean servers.
