 Not your VPN, not your privacy. 
 Disagree. Your VPN has the anonset of 1. Hiding in the crowd in this case is preferable. 
 Yeah, my thought exactly. It's not easy to get this right. 
 Somebody else's VPN is just a way to track you down and sell your data for their own profit. 
 Your own VPN is actually just your VPS's provider VPN but with none of the advantages if sharing an IP address with other people.

Your VPS provider still can see all your traffic...

There is no way to use clearnet without one party knowing all your traffic. 
 It's Tailscale's VPN honestly. I'm not skilled enough to roll my own wireguard connections. 
 i tried once, failed miserably

So simple, anyone can do it 
 Thanks for the resource 👍🫡 
 Damn you broke that down nicely. It seems a lot easier than I thought it was. 
 There's also plenty of tools and scripts that automate the guide but I think wireguard is so simple and easy to configure that it's worth it to try to do it manually so that people can gain a basic understanding. 
 Wait, how do you build a personal VPN? 
 I work on health care. Every corp has their own VPN. :)

 What are your thoughts on Orbot? 
 It works. Better than not having it.  
 Orbot seems to break my phone, and I don't like sending my encrypted private data from tor node to tor node all over the world. 
 #Invizible is 10 times better than #Orbot

 Not your open hardware and firmware, not your privacy 😂 
 Well it's complicated, isn't it? 

With a proper vpn like Mullvad or IVPN, you are hinding in between other people. With a selfhosted VPN you are not. 
 Not your RELAY, not your privacy. 
 Yep 
 What's better about it?
