Self-hosted OpenVPN server on a cheap VPS in whichever country I want/need it. Simple to setup, full control, and the cost of the VPS is lower than most paid services (and can be used for hosting other stuff too if I want).

Same here but in a Docker container ^^
Yep same here actually. Docker certainly helps with the "simple to setup" bit, along with a script I wrote - http://github.com/lukebennett/ovpn
Do you have any guide on setting something like yours?
Keep meaning to write a blog post, one day I'll get round to it :)

My setup is based on docker-openvpn[0] which has quite a detailed readme, along with a Digital Ocean community tutorial[1]. My script basically wraps up some of the config and makes the various commands a bit easier to remember.
