    Don’t use a VPN?

    What good is doing anyway? Tracking happens mostly outside if IP address. Even at that your IP address is probably dynamic.

      Really? I’m pretty sure I’m being IP tracked by companies like google.

        It is one data point out of thousands.

        I routinely see people using a VPN while signing in to online services

      I usually don’t use one for browsing, and not for privacy reasons.

      I have a wireguard hub-and-spoke configuration with my VPS as hub to

      • Let my VPS act as a reverse proxy to my home servers
      • Not have to expose ssh on my VPS to the public internet
      • Easily reach all my home servers when I travel
      • Route traffic through my VPS when I’m on sketchy open WiFi. Which is when I’ve encountered OP’s sign-in requirement.
