I'm renting VPS in Netherlands. I'm using VPS mostly to circumvent internet censoring my country does (mostly porn sites, but they occasionally breaking legit sites and what's wrong with porn anyway). There's no legal punishment to circumvent blocks AFAIK, so I feel pretty safe even if someone would find out I'm doing that (it's not like I'm hiding, gigabytes of traffic on standard OpenVPN port, lol). But anyway I'm sure that Netherlands provider won't tell anything to Kazakhstan request even if they would ask something and I don't do anything to warrant Interpol engagement. It's all about attacks you want to mitigate, I think. If you want to break into Pentagon, that won't work, I guess.

Still be safe, if the government gets proactive and starts to make house visits to people who are having suspicious long running connections to foreign national transferring GB's of data you don't want to be caught with loads of illegal to own content on your machine.

Doing that kind of analysis has become very easy and cheap recently.
