VPS as a VPN alternative?

You can set the logs to /dev/null, to make sure that there are really no logs.

Good point, I almost forgot that my RasPi has similar specs. I’ll just go ahead and see where it takes me.

But you have to be running a VPN server on that VPS, right ? Just saying VPS doesn’t tell you anything about what’s running.

I bought one, access to the server was almost instantaneously after my paypal transaction was processed. I opted for the Ubuntu 14.04 installation on the German server (I’m based in Germany myself but frequently travel for business, so a local connection might come in handy to bypass geo-restrictions).

Only ran apt-get update && upgrade so far, speed is quite fast though I didn’t benchmark yet. Will test it more in depth when I’m back home, currently in Tanzania.
