[buug] VPN hosting and access?

[Johan Beisser]

Tor may work, but presume your exit node is hostile. Google did, for a
while, offer a proxy/VPN service.

Me? I'd consider making a custom EC2 image, and writing a
startup/shutdown script that'll also open the inbound ports for ssh,
openvpn, etc.

AWS is cheap, if used sparingly.
