IP tracking is pretty old-school, and unless you're perfectly scrupulous about your split profiles locally, there's probably a well known bridge between these profiles.

And if IP obfuscation is that important, you'll likely be using TOR, not a VPN (which have proven to be a nearly transparent shield).

That's my plan -- that there is no bridge between the profiles. I'll admit, the likelihood that I'm doing this perfectly is definitely not 100%. But I'll bet it covers most cases.
