Stop trusting VPS providers! Run your own servers at home!
Unless you infiltrate someone else’s network, the endpoint your basic VPN connects to can always be traced back to you.
So, either you trust a VPN company doesn’t hold logs and try to hide within all the other traffic.
Or you host your own VPN on a VPS knowing you haven’t set up any logging (and hope that your VPS hasn’t been tampered with), but then have a static IP that comes back to your identity.
