Re: Bad timing, sigh
You can, and I have, but that only works for some of the use cases of VPNs. In my experience, people want VPNs for one or more of the following reasons:
1. To provide a secured tunnel to a known endpoint.
2. To access other machines without having them be openly available on the internet.
3. To have anonymized traffic that's difficult to track.
A VPS handles use case 1 easily. It can handle use case 2 with some work (for example, I have mine set up so I can VPN into it, then follow a previously-established tunnel to a device which is on another network). It does not handle use case 3 unless you allow others to use your VPN as well so you can hide among them. That's usually not a good idea because you will use up a bunch of bandwidth and may be responsible if someone uses yours for illegal actions.
