-With this guide, a secure server with several privacy and security enchancing services can be setup in less than an hour. The server can be used to circumvent firewalls, provide strong encryption and overall improve online experience, all for a low monthly cost (average ~$35 per month for a "standard" instance.) To save money, consider using [Preemptible VM instances](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/preemptible) which can be started right back up with a script.
