-
I would like to have the time and motivation (and hardware) to do this but it seems unlikely. What box are you running it on? Physical at home or virtual or in your office or what?
I wonder if I could use an AWS instance to do the same thing - I have money with them already so the cost wouldn't be an issue, nor would having a machine running day and night at home be an issue.

Streisand will use whatever you want. You put streisand on your home machine, and then give it an API key for AWS, Linode, Digital Ocean or whatever... and it creates the machine in the cloud for you.
Then change the root password, log in and change the hosts.
I use Linode, but that's because I use Linode heavily for things already (including Microcosm).
It's cool, I can even track my bandwidth usage (33.5 GB last month on my mobile - which is Wi-Fi + 4g).

I had that discussion yesterday lunchtime... whether that was a business.
All I've done is used streisand to set up a box: https://github.com/jlund/streisand
Then I changed the root password, logged on and modified the hosts.
I figure that ISPs are obliged to log everything, but hosting companies are not... and this means I avoid being logged at the same time as stripping adverts, speeding things up (a single permanently open connection everything goes over), and stops tracking by apps.
Hell, it even nuked all of the ads inside the Guardian app :)
