In my country, VPNs sometimes get blocked. Along with half of the AWS and other random stuff. So I've set up my VPN and also pay for another third-party VPN service, having best (or worst) of both worlds. My gateway host is private, and I've decided that if it gets detected, I'll add an obfs4 layer on top of it. (Luckily, that hadn't happened - and I'm moving to another country in about a week. But that's a different story.) All my first VPN does, is merely routing the traffic to an upstream VPN provider. This way I get a private entry point but also enjoy some degree of anonymity as my "final" IP addresses are shared with lots of other users. (Well, I share my gateway VPN with a few close friends. Maybe that's borderline cheating on the upstream VPN, but I don't see a way to pay them for my network-sharing guests anyway.) Oh, and I don't need to reconnect to switch regions. I just made myself a tiny web service that changes the routing table used by my TAP connection, so whenever something doesn't work from one region I just need to click on a flag icon. |

This is why I love* Tunnelbear's[0] GhostBear feature and it uses obfsproxy[1]. Very few VPN providers provide censorship circumvention like that

[*] No affiliation with Tunnelbear, just thought I would point out this feature
