It would be a lot easier to just use a vpn and hide your traffic from your ISP that way.
As I mentioned I have a server, and I use a VPN to connect always to it. This makes using a paid VPN a bit harder. The dedicated VPN IP should fix this issue but I haven't looked into how difficult that'd be.
Ahh i see.
Yeah it really slims down your VPN choices as having an IP address associated with your account makes it much more identifiable. So some providers wont offer them (such as mullvad).
It also usually costs more. The one I know offers a static IP is express VPN and ive heard Proton has plans on offering it. It looks like PIA offers it too.
Yup. Tailscale+Mullvad isn't a bad option, but I'd rather not depend on tailscale and a true local connection will always be better. But then you have to pay through tailscale and then more identifiable.
