Now I'm all confused. Let me check the built-in support for OpenVPN: Windows - nope. Android - nope. Linux - nope. iOS - nope. OS X - nope. The consensus you are referring to seems to be quite imaginary - or I'm missing something. What is it?
Some routers have built-in OpenVPN in their Linux distros.

You can get a VPS for far cheaper than DO's prices. https://lowendbox.com/ http://lowendspirit.com/ I'm currently posting through a VPN running on a VPS I discovered through Low End Box, works just fine for browsing and downloading. 500GB transfer per month for $10 a year.
How much can you trust these lowend box providers? I talked to one guy who was utterly incompetent and another one who was really shady...
Would I trust them as a production server for an income generating app? Nope. But for my light/trivial uses they've been perfectly suitable.

I am not confused there are just more cases. A lot of people are using VPN providers to download illegal content via torrents. And in case there are no logs on the servers (which most providers advertise) the copyright holder has no way of knowing who you are since they only see that the traffic is coming and going from the providers IP address.
Those people are in for a series of nasty surprises if copyright enforcement ever grows teeth, because whoever's providing such a VPN service with backhaul certainly has enough information to tie them to their activity.

If they don't store logs they don't have enough information. That is the reason why a lot of companies that provide this service are incorporated in countries that don't require them to do so.
