I am working on VPN related projects. Just succeeded yesterday in setting
up a vpn-server on a inexpensive VPS. My interests in VPNs is as a customer
I feel my ISP doesn't have any right to sniff/analyze my traffic and
dictate what I am allowed to do. One thing my ISP says I can't do is run a
TOR server, so I am setting up the VPN to route all TOR traffic to the VPS.

I posted a link to a SpreadSheet of data I researched about various VPN
providers. It's a very complicated market. Although unlikely, I'd love to
see an EFF/OpenWireless vetted list since it's a challenge getting answers
to various questions from the VPN companies about their products.
