Why not just run a VPN on your own server (let's say an EC2 instance)?
No logs, no shady companies who have access to your traffic, your info isn't associated with a bunch of malcontents who like privacy.
What am I missing?
All connections from your computer to the VPS is still logged and with you being the only user you're pretty much fucked.

Bash script to delete logs, encrypt with luks.
Only problem is if you want to change locations you're limited to your properties or vps.

I don't think you understand what >>59647681 is saying....
SomeISPlog: x.x.x.x -> EC2
OtherISPLog: EC2 -> 4chanz
"Well we buy all the data anyway-- let's see what connections we can make in the database:
Oh looks like whoever owned EC2 was connecting to google. Who could that be? Oh only 1 IP has connected. Couldn't be anon could it?"
The idea of a VPN is that it's fucking shared with like 20k other people and obfuscates you behind a single IP.
Connecting from your home to your own EC2 is literally strictly worse than using a public proxy.

The point was that the ISPs can sell your connection data now to the highest bidder.
An EC2 account is perfect for a VPN looking to defeat that. The government may get a warrant for the EC2 logs, but the commercial ISP can go pound sand.

amazon can use your exiting vpn traffic just like your ISP and sell it to third parties
they might not know that it's you, the owner of the instance, that is making the traffic but it's still there and they can do whatever they want with that information
