This is an interesting read! Like some of the others here I too am trying this. A friend and I founded a VPN provider[0] targeting short term subscriptions (i.e. VPN while at a coffee shop, etc) and later some other novel features as we get further down the road.
I first got an idea for this after publishing my OpenVPN docker image [1][2] which received more attention then I ever imagined. The BackRoad[0] service runs all the VPNs with the exact docker image in the public github repo[2] + CoreOS and all that jazz to make it scale.
I come from a hardware background where starting something is completely different then a web service. I think it's interesting with only minimal risk as you've pointed out.
