Would that be worth your while? I mean if you’re talking about an one year plan here, that’d mean you’re making $20 per year off these 20 people. Or $1 per year by handling one customer of yours. Let’s say you find 600 people and manage all of that. That’d give you a monthly salary of $50. There is quite some uncertainty to your business model, it is work and you’re violating the TOS of your VPN suppliers and committing tax fraud. I’d advise you to do the maths first, before starting with a business like that.
At $0.50 a month I see people buying a single month prepaid to do evil things, and getting the account shutdown. Or just posting the credentials to 4chan.
If it’s a year prepaid, then it’s starting to compete with the multiyear VPN providers who offer services at like $1 month but prepay 3 years.
I think your idea is fine to share amongst friends who know each other. But with strangers… It will be a huge headache.

Why should anyone trust you to run a VPN for them? How would we know you’re not a malicious actor?

No way anyone but an idiot would do that.
There are a lot of idiots. $0.50 is honestly too small. Pretty sure you can buy hacked computer proxies for that amount and it would be as safe.

What’s the value proposition for the customer over just going to the VPN service provider directly?
Also, what if someone just like you is one of your customers? Taking the account info you give and reselling it? How would you handle it?

Okay. Good luck with that. Feels like a big headache.
Worst case scenario, you become very successful, and force the VPN to limit devices to the same IP range.
From my perspective, if you really want to do this, become a legitimate VPN reseller. Then you don’t have to do the user management
