> how do you measure VPN services?

It's pretty difficult. You can't say anything for sure, it's all trust. That's why you should be so strict.

When you host your own end point you still have to trustits provider of course, but of course the incentive (concentrated, specific user traffic data) for abuse is much reduced.

But how anonymous are you actually? Are you sure your traffic can't be connected to you? Certain you set everything up correctly?

With my provider of choice, because I trust them reasonably much (sure feels like jinxing it), I don't have these worries.

If you VPN service, only provide VPN, then a (free tier) AWS server in a foreign country + wireguard would do the same. Sure, AWS could log the outbound traffic for that account, but AWS only has an email address from me, not a credit card like a VPN service. Feels like the exposure is far less.
