So this website allows you to browse Wikipedia without giving them your IP address. Wikiless is self-hostable and the source code is available at: https://codeberg.org/orenom/wikiless
I tried to make some kind of use-case for Wikiless in the README section. But it could be that privacy-wise it doesn't give that much an advantage compared to using Wikipedia directly.
It makes much more sense to use these "alternative front-ends" for sites like Reddit (Teddit or Libreddit), Instagram (Bibliogram), YouTube (Invidious), and Twitter (Nitter), but I guess we also have now one for Wikipedia too.
