Do you have any insight on this previous exchange I had about VPNs?

back in my day : ssh or vpn aren't even commercial, we buy vps and tweak it as we wanted. That's safer than nowadays 'honeypot' vpn

I had casually wondered if people had used their vps's for that purpose. Just run openvpn on it or something? Also just pondering, could the purveyor of the server also get basically the same information from you as a commercial VPN could? Then you'd lose the "security through obscurity" benefit

Sorry, I don't.

As I said above:

Know anything about open-source self-hosting VPNs and or federating them? That seems like a potentially good course, if one must.

I don't expect to be bullet proof. But I won't make it easy for them. I'd settle for bullet resistant.
