instead of paying for a VPN I wrote a little bash script that spins up a debian vm on digital ocean, opens up a SOCKS tunnel over ssh, then starts tun2socks and adds the routing rules to route everything over the tunnel. doesn't need to install anything on the vm. deletes the vm when it's done. costs cents, I'm thrilled
