I'm surprised no one has mentioned Streisand, an open-source project that takes most (not all) of the effort out of setting up low-cost individual VPNs for yourself and your friends and family on a number of popular cloud services:

It takes a little bit of technical know-how (or bravery) to get started, but the setup process is dead-simple and you end up with a completely personal VPN with dozens of options that can work around a number of different situations. Best of all, it's entirely under your control. You can tear it down and start from scratch, or move to a new location or cloud provider easily. The docs are clear and easy to understand, and it's constantly being improved. It's a pretty remarkable project.
