i just use wireguard and a cheap VPS that often gets used for other things like testing my servers and relays

and a far better privacy protection method than all this complicated spook type shit is just living far away from the cities where people are so chill that they mostly don't even lock their doors because nobody ever breaks in

all the glamorous hacker shit is pointless for the average person whose biggest threat is tax collectors and false accusations being perpetrated by bureaucrat thugs with badges
