is surfshark's 'nexus' thing any good? do other vpn providers have a similar thing that gives you new ip for every link/webpage you click?

That's not exactly true. It really depends on what you're trying to protect yourself from.

If you're running an ARR stack, The Pirate hunters out there are going to end up empty-handed at a half decent VPN in a foreign country. But if you're doing something that will draw the ire of the FBI, CIA or secret service, it's a little more than a speed bump.

Many local ISPs basically hand the keys directly to law enforcement without so much as a warrant. Most of the VPN providers will at least put up a minor fight to stay in business.
