It's really not that hard

It's really not that private either.

The VPS provider has your payment records and connection logs with your real IP. Since you and friends or family are presumably the only ones using it, your identity would be really easy to unveil.

Well that's two different things. Having your own VPN is trustworthy, if you want privacy it's another thing.

Privacy is the central component of a VPN --- Virtual *PRIVATE* Network.
