Apple's private relay is a good example of how one can buy an anonymous IP address.

I believe Apple's private relay do not work with WebRTC protocol by design; it is intended for HTTP(S).

As proof of concept it shows that there may be a viable commercial privacy-centric communication mechanism which works by not letting the service providers know their clients IPs.
