Do you use VPNs to access Internet over public Wi-Fi?

Any suggestions for companies you're happy with?

Came across https://www.tunnelbear.com/ the other day. They seem pretty cool.

I've used https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ while traveling abroad. It has worked quite well.

wont that instance data be stored in a backup a DO?

The point of destroying is presumably that you don't pay whilst you're sleeping, or otherwise not using the server.

Re: data, you can (optionally) do a wipe when you destroy a DO, but you could just delete the logs or turn off logging, which would be faster. Having said that, I'm not sure what in the logs would be harmful to you.
