There's a good chance I'm wrong here, but isn't directing your traffic overseas the exact thing that makes it fair game to state-level inspection?

Fair game legally or technically?

Legally maybe, probably, who knows. Personally I don't feel protected legally anymore with regards to privacy. It's a good thing I don't really do anything illegal, even if it both saddens and angers me that the world is letting this happen.

Technically I'm assuming without some serious cooperation with Digital Ocean it's going to be hard. Sure, if someone gives the authorities (or the hackers get) root, then my OpenVPN software will be more Open than "VPN."
