| The basics | Yeah Nah VPN | ExpressVPN |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs it? | You own the server in your AWS account. | ExpressVPN runs the servers for you. |
| Privacy | Traffic goes through your server, not ours. You still trust AWS. | Says it keeps no activity or connection logs, backed by independent audits. |
| Looking after it | You look after your AWS account and server security. | The provider looks after the servers. |
Your server. Your control. No VPN makes you anonymous.
