The nice thing about this is that you don’t have to wonder whether or not your VPN provider is saving logs or not, you are in control of that.
If you take over a single router, a provider does indeed have logs of both the inbound you used to reach the router, and the outbound traffic you create from it. Simple timing logging will show its you and if its "their" router, they'll (at least theoretically) be able to decrypt your traffic too. (And that's assuming it wasn't a great big tasty honey-pot to begin with, pooh-bear)
If you must do this, bounce between a few... and if you must do this, just use tor already.
In this case the VPN "provider" is the router itself and since you owned it you can eliminate logs. The ISP may have flow-level logs but those are so voluminous that they probably aren't kept long.
The parent comment was(pretty clearly) referring to what you're calling "flow-level logs"... Quite obviously you can delete the router's logs(it's mentioned in the article and by the parent comment); the ISP's traffic logs on the other hand?
