The small problem I see with using a personal VPS as a tunnel is that your IP is still unique to you specifically, albeit disconnected from your actual geolocation, rather than intermixed with thousands of other people. So they can see that “aha, it’s this guy again”. If you’re logging in with an account though then maybe that doesn’t matter.
True you lose the crowd anonymity of being on a server with thousands of others. But if sites go and ban VPN use or a state does, you’ll at least not look to be using one.
