Came across this controversial link where someone says that a VPS would be more secure than a VPN provider. From my understanding:

-Wouldn’t the VPS provider just see everything instead of a VPN provider? -Wouldn’t fingerprinting be straightforward, even if you use a hardened browser, since you have a single IP traceable directly to only one user?

ytcombinator doesn’t seem to take it seriously but I’m curious to hear what you all think about it.

    A VPS might be more secure, if you know what you’re doing. I use a VPS as a VPN to keep my ISP out of my traffic. Privacy is out the window though, because I have a static IP.
