Just a couple of things:

-- Any project which is not transparent about its funding or operations should never be trusted. I personally would classify paid software in this. VPN is a bit different, but these vary widely and there is not one paid service that I'd recommend. Setting up your own VPN for yourself only is a far better option.

I've heard this statement before and I'm a bit unclear. If I want to hide my traffic from my ISP or get it securely out of my country, I either have to rent a VPS or place a server with a friend somewhere remote. Both of those options remove the server from your control. How is this any safer from buying VPN service from a company? What step am I missing?
