Tunnelling through a hosting provider doesn't provide any additional privacy. It just moves your exposure. Perhaps I am unusual, but I trust my ISP with my privacy more than I trust the typical hosting provider. I understand that this doesn't apply to most of the US because of your monopolistic ISP problem. In other places though, I don't think a blanket "just tunnel through a hosting provider" recommendation is appropriate. |

You're lucky in this regard. Having no choice but Comcast, the number one threat to my privacy is my ISP. So that makes tunneling to an outside VPN very useful. I trust DigitalOcean far more. Although in a different situation I think you're absolutely right.
