"Streisand sets up a new server running L2TP/IPsec, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, sslh, Stunnel, and a Tor bridge. It also generates custom configuration instructions for all of these services. At the end of the run you are given an HTML file with instructions that can be shared with friends, family members, and fellow activists."
The disadvantage of this over a shared VPN that doesn't keep logs is that there's now a unique IP address that can be tied back to you. A cool feature for a VPS would be to have a shared IP address between a bunch of customers.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, except for the TCP-over-TCP issue.
SSH does it's own flow control, and with HPN-SSH it is much better. Also, if your connection to the VPN host is quite good, then the TCP-over-TCP issue does not apply as much. The bad cases happen when that connection has packet loss.

Not stopping me, though. I use the VPN when using public WiFis, knowing that my data is protected but that I'm not anonymous.
We made this really easy, on Ubuntu: https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/vpn will generate you a private VPN on your own box with a single click. If you don't trust us and prefer to do it on your own, that's fine too, it's open source: https://github.com/tinfoil/openvpn_autoconfig/blob/master/bi...
Does this work on iOS?
Another solution I'd recommend is SoftEtherVPN[1]. It's a bit easier to configure and supports multiple protocols, including OpenVPN. [1] https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN/
That's why I pay for services, not because I can't follow a tutorial to set them up :)

I suppose you could always come up with some script that recreates the whole VPS and thus get a new IP address... but that makes it overly complicated for most people.
They also have OpenVPN AMI.

I.e. Tor IPs typically have very poor 'credit' score.
