> And for actual privacy on untrusted networks, nothing beats a VPN, except possibly not using hostile networks.

Except that using a VPN then funnels _all_ of your traffic through a single server which is ideally placed to monitor your browsing activity. And, VPN providers tend to be quite hard to evaluate for their trustworthiness.

Go to AWS

make an EC2 instance.

Configure it as a VPN.
