Does cloud providers share the IP addresses and the alloted users to these big corps and defect the whole purpose of a privacy frontend? Are there any service (FOSS) that could randomise my servers IP?

Might be a noob question but I want to start self hosting.

    To add to the question, what about using a selfhosted privacy frontend behind a VPN. Does this shrink the need for a crowd.

      You mean hit my selfhosted fronted from multiple IPs? I could do that, but after analysing my usage pattern they could fingerprint me.

        Like hosting it from a local server that routes all internet traffic through the VPN to avoid exposing the source of the server’s IP to the unprivate service.
