I don't really know much about VPNs, but would something like that be feasible? Since it's only for miners, it won't need much bandwidth.
People with ati cards on their notebooks could happily leave it mining while at work or school. The service could be paid in bitcoins too.

What do you think?

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Eight BTC per month is too much for something I will only use with a miner. That service has unlimited bandwidth and even supports bittorrent!

That's why I was thinking about some much cheaper version offering only limited bandwidth and maybe only allowing miners.

I might be able to do so for 5 BTC/month.

All you need is a VPN relay so that the miners can access the pools?

Last time I checked it was 6 BTC per week.

Anyways, why don't you use a free vpn service for that ?
