Is there something that can generate random Internet usage to make the real sites I go to a bit obfuscated?
I’m thinking something that runs on my server, and simply visits a random website. It probably shouldn’t actually be random, and some sort of tweaking would be great. Like the ability to have it visit every news site there is. That way the ISP will have a harder time telling my political bias.
The threat model for this is below using a VPN for normal usage, although getting a dedicated VPN IP address is a project for one day.

Ahh i see.
Yeah it really slims down your VPN choices as having an IP address associated with your account makes it much more identifiable. So some providers wont offer them (such as mullvad).
It also usually costs more. The one I know offers a static IP is express VPN and ive heard Proton has plans on offering it. It looks like PIA offers it too.
Yup. Tailscale+Mullvad isn’t a bad option, but I’d rather not depend on tailscale and a true local connection will always be better. But then you have to pay through tailscale and then more identifiable.
