I'm wondering how much interest there is for an application that will put up a new AWS or Azure instance with the proper VPN access points. Which can then be torn down when you're done, so if you didn't have too much data pumping through your VPN you could set it up for $0.02 an hour.

I'm 90% done, just need motivation to spend another 90% to finish up the last %10.

It's an interesting idea. But there's no exit crowding. And so everything is easily linked to the user.

What might be effective would be an app that created multiple instances, with multiple providers, and then shared them with other users. So you were all using multihop VPNs, with the hops changing frequently. The https://www.softether.org/ project allows users to share their VPN servers. You'd just take that to the next level.

That's what I'm asking for. Check the Tinfoil Security link.

very cool. fill time usage at $0.02/hr ~ $0.50/day ~ $15/mth. reasonable usage, say 5%-10% of the time, $1.00 / month. totally reasonable.
