What’s different?
| The basics | Yeah Nah VPN | NordVPN |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs it? | You own the server in your AWS account. | NordVPN runs the servers for you. |
| Privacy | Traffic goes through your server, not ours. You still trust AWS. | Says it does not keep browsing logs, backed by independent checks. |
| 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.
