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.

I’d suggest a tor exit node but that might make some governments come knocking
It will also get you banned from a lot of websites, and I hope you enjoy captchas
I’m experienced…
God, I only use Ublock Origin on Firefox. No TOR, VPNs, or anything like that.
Despite that, there are a handful of Google-related websites like Virustotal that now permanently trap me in repeating captchas. Youtube will occasionally decide to block my IP entirely for a week.
Let me tell you, this shit doesn’t make me more inclined to disable ad blocking. Instead, I’ve starting finding alternatives and using a sandboxed vanilla Chromium for problem pages.
Completely with you, there. If a website makes my life hard, I just find the info elsewhere or live without it.
