[Question] If I selfhost a privacy frontend on cloud, wouldn't the original service get my server IP and track back to me?

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

  • It doesn't matter if they are encrypted if you can sell the data about what the user is doing (eg if your connecting to a shopping website your probably shopping their). Better to obfuscate the source by choosing an endpoint that isn't geographically related and associated with your identity. I only would ever recommend using a VPN that is open source and well audited by a renowned 3rd party auditor(s). https://luxsci.com/blog/what-is-really-protected-by-ssl-and-tls.html

  • Yeah, I don't trust proprietary server backend. Also I2P is a good option that should be less slow under the traffic of thousands of users.

  • That is just as true of your ISP, who when raided by the police will happily send it all over in a jiffy.

  • Encryption doesn't mean perfectly hidden. Metadata isn't encrypted for HTTPS iirc. And the ISP knows who your sending traffic to since they are routing you there and are usually your DNS. When connected to a good and trusted VPN, all that is hidden, your DNS can't give away your location, and the only server you contact is the VPN

  • Or isolate discord with a tab container in Firefox. Invidious is still preferable though.

  • Try having your self hosted services backup to an external (or at least a separate) drive, where each service has its own folder.
