I have said this time and time again, the only way to be properly safe when using a VPN is if the supplier can guarantee that NO logs at all are saved - of course, no one can guarantee that without showing you the system.

Setting up your own private fully encrypted (Harddrive) OpenVPN is quite easy and the only "secure" alternative.

You are misunderstanding the reason people use these services. They use it to stay anonymous because many people use it and it is harder to distinguish what traffic belongs to what user.

If you setup your own vpn server, encrypted or not, it defeats that purpose because one could just listen on the other end.
