I'm in learning-mode here, so forgive me if this is a dumb question: if I have my home server connect to a VPN for all outbound traffic, would that mitigate your issue with "your single IP". Would that make it so the IP they see is my VPN provider's, not mine? Thanks for any info
Thats better if you have your VPN change IP often, and also because VPN IPs are shared (unless you pay for a unique static IP) which means more noise in the traffic.
But if you have a dedicated VPN IP, it's basically the same then because your data can be tied to you at that IP.
Noted, and thanks!
