hey everyone! I’m back after taking some time off from certain things. before I start losing my mind from not having anything to do, I decided that I’m going to start being more “involved” in the online world. even if It’ll take away some of my privacy a bit, also because I want to practice being less paranoid, I’m sure some of you know how this feels very well. and so far there’s no clear answer to how you could become truly invisible. by the way, I now finally have my own fediverse social media account and my own website. there’s no such thing as ‘blogger’ type fediverse platform so I chose something else for now.
moreover, here’s the actual reason I came back online; can anyone tell me how I can make my own hosted vpn?
I did bought the server anonymously, does that help?
Yes, that does help a little. But how much depends on your threat scenario: If you just don’t want your ISP to know what you are doing or hide your true IP from some web site you are probably good but if you want to avoid online tracking the situation with a selfhosted vpn may even be worse as your server probably has a static IP address and makes you easy to identify. Also note that once you login into some website with and without vpn it is easy to connect you to your server.
