Might as well run your own vpn from a paid VPS if you are willing to have an anon set of 1...

Yeah I was listening to Michael Bazzell talk about that today. He said he uses 2 main vpns. One with a dedicated IP to get to his bank (and I guess other blocked things) and a "normal" vpn for everything else.

Does he have a podcast?

Nice idea!

yeah I know a dedicated IP is not the best option but it still keeps a site that you're visiting from knowing your actual home IP.

Dunno but the sad truth is that services have no way of telling the abusers from honest users using a VPN

Part of the value proposition of using a VPN is precisely sharing an IP with other people.

Their value is zero if they allow abuse to go thru too
