## Summary

A solo founder publishes an X article on building a free personal VPN with WireGuard, using Oracle Cloud Always Free and the open-source coolervpn script. The article argues that a self-hosted server keeps site-level traffic from the ISP, unlike paid VPNs that shift that visibility to the provider.

It saw 37 minutes on your bank’s site.
Incognito mode doesn’t hide any of this from them.
