Personally, I make a digital ocean VM in the US, and then use:
ssh myvmaddress.com -D 10000
Then I set Firefox proxy to SOCKS on port 10000.
You can also do this on windows with putty. Great for when you need to use an untrusted wifi, because ssh checks that the proxy VM is who it says it is.
I just don't trust some shady proxy company with my data. 'So what is your business plan?', 'I am going to sell a service for hiding the dodgiest people on the internet, and also stealing BBC iplayer', 'oh, can I also send my banking data through it?'. I don't like this conversation.
