how secure is it to use vps as vpn? Depends on your threat model. If you’re just hiding from your ISP or streaming geo-blocked stuff, it’s fine. But if you’re doing anything sketchy, nah.
The main issue is that your traffic is still tied to the VPS IP. So if someone *really* wants to find you, they can.
Paid VPNs spread traffic across servers, making it harder to trace. DIY VPS doesn’t. So... trade-offs.
