Apple’s Private Relay can cause the system to ignore firewall rules

That’s why you always carry your personal pocket-cellular WiFi modem with custom firewall settings.

Then turn on Airport mode on your cellphone.

Sign on to your WiFi.

IP address Privacy, pretty much assured (assuming you have your own backend WireGuard and remote VPS-based gateway. )

Yeah... like a laptop with OpenBSD?

Otherwise it sounds like sound advice for any device if you have the threat profile to warrant it.

Seems like a lot of theater to me. If you really have that kind of risk profile then you're not running your exit on your own vps. That will singularly identify you and there's no plausible deniability. And you're leaking way more PII in a typical web request over your VPN than than just an IP. I appreciate that people are interested in this stuff and want to do it, but it sounds pointless really.

O_o.

Who ever said about running your own exit node on your own VPS?

We got other ways to established an exit node. Is an entrance node, this VPS.

But it is heady and pointless … for a small fry.

Isn't this a quite an annoying thing to setup? IRL Live streamers have these backpacks and they seem needed to be battery powered and quite bulky.

I've used gl-inet stuff to great effect, it runs openwrt (can easily flash vanilla on there too).

Also use it as a backup for if the home ISP goes down.
