I tried CyberGhost, seems legit but the google localization turns to Arabic or different languages, even though the IP is Romanian.
Does anyone know some other reliable free vpn services?

For anyone that already has a dedicated hosting server, have you ever tried setting that up as a VPN?

Thanks for the link. If someone wants true anonymity with AWS, they should probably use a pre-loaded gift card (if Amazon will accept it) that isn't linked to your real name. The problem with all VPN's as far as I'm concerned is that you truly need to give zero identifying information whenever possible if you're absolutely going to play it safe. I guess if there was ever a court order, they could get you to turn over your IP address/billing that you use to connect to AWS. Having never used AWS before, I haven't browsed their TOS to confirm what kind of logging they keep on the client side to connect to your own server, and whether those logs can be purged by customer, or are they in the hands of Amazon?

VPNs are good at hiding your identity from ISPs, website owners and service providers, but the surveillance network is hard to evade.
Web browsing is now impossible to do without revealing your location to the surveillance agencies via traffic analysis, except if by some chance the VPN you're using isn't part of the global surveillance network which includes 14 Eyes and likely many more now.

I think the only way to truly make an effort at 100% concealment is to use a VPN and public wi-fi networks that change frequently. That way you're not tied to one location. Also, no personally identifiable information on your mobile machine. It seems that privacy comes at a trade off of functionality.

Rigsby,
What if i just want to access US-based websites while on a short trip overseas? Banks, credit cards, etc. Not from public wifi spots, either from hotels or 4G mobile phone tethered to a laptop.
Is a free vpn (for example, Hola plugin) good enough to do this?
If/when I travel long term, I'll pay for a decent vpn service.

Good point on MAC spoofing. If you're going to be driving around in a covered van leeching off wifi, best to at least spoof that badboy in case someone is on to you. Repped +1 for the useful advice.

Avoid all VPNs that has to install an app.
An example is Spotflux. They ONLY have apps and don't offer a Linux version (since they can be caught being sneaky more easily).
