Haven't done any comparisons, but I'm using this in cases where my throughput isn't too important. I can stream my webcam over it in HD, establish an rdp connection, ssh back through, and control web interfaces like octoprint. It's acceptable.
The big advantage is that a $2/month vps gets a static IP, therefore I don't have to worry about a VPN provider changing the IP or blocking ports.
Tunneling an encrypted connection through an encrypted connection is pretty much always a bad idea but when you're evading CGnat or other network blocks, sometimes it's the best we can conjure up on a whim.
