&gt;I also agree that the best VPN is one you set up yourself on a VPS that you control.<p>But aren&#x27;t you &quot;just&quot; renting the VPS from companys like Digital Ocean just as you would rent the VPN access from somewhere else?<p>So if the VPN seller has means and probably does log your traffic and will give you up, how would a VPS seller like Digital Ocean be different? Surely they log your traffic as well? I mean, they have to if they offer dynamic pricing by usage and by offering packages like 1TB or 2TB traffic.
