Loved reading that. I really do agree on the threat-model aspect of privacy, which is the main reason why people discredit or worship VPNs. All the actions we take to safeguard our information is dependant on what we want to hide, and from who.
Also, a quick question. You mention
but wouldn't this be useless since you're basically moving from one static ip to the other? Hope you can clear this up, thanks !
Thanks, I definitely agree.
To answer your question: the whole setup is not meant to do anything else than move the IP away from my house / location at the time,, block as many trackers as possible and encrypt my DNS.
