If you're going to use an outside vpn service to mask your IP address,
what other option do you have than to trust *someone* as a VPN vendor?

Rolling your own VPN doesn't solve *that* problem.

Is there *any* other solution to masking your IP address on the net
than to trust at least one VPN vendor?

Just because YOU feel you have to trust them does not mean that they are
trustworth. It might give you 50% more security (Ie a 50% chance that
the VPN is actually secure). But then we get people
worrying because the encryption used might go from
..000000000000000000000001% probability of being broken to
..000000000000000000001% and get all upset at how horrible that is.
