But doing this will give you a static IP which will make you even less anonymous.

Sharing an IP address with a load of other people makes one more anonymous. I know there are lots of different ways of identifying someone online but it is a start. My ISP is also behind a CGNAT so I am also sharing that IP with loads of other people and also most ISPs don’t provide static IP addresses so you can’t rely on an that either but I guess I also trust my VPN provider to handle identifying data more than my ISP as I haven’t even given them my name (Mullvad)

Sorry to go on a tangent (I believe it is word of mouth and actions of the company like you say):

Reading this from my phone looked like you meant there was a web scraping tool actually called “this[0]” which would be a cracking name.

Does anyone know what are the pros and cons between this and “online learning” ?
