No one can therefore say "I know Polygon is using X ip because 100 other people could be using it"

But if he uses his own VPS

"I know Polygon is using X IP and ONLY X IP because he owns the VPS"

And this does not even mention the bandwidth concern

Owning your own server does not guarantee privacy at all and usually makes you less private

Now listen here @Polygon

Unless you have a need for a dedicated IP

Which you most likely don't

Buy mullvad.net

If you need a dedicated IP, just setup a VPN on your home router.

But if you want an ounce of privacy, using a home router as a VPN or a VPS is the wrong way to go

God I'm so big brained

Wait I'm trying to understand a situation where that argument is applicable how does the person know Polygon owns a VPS lol

Look at the IP

Perform a trace - it will say Digitalocean or whatever provider

if you are law enforcement - just ask

or if you are good with words and can smoooze dumb people

ask

nah

2 lay z

I think it depends on whether you want your own IP or if you want a shared IP

If you want your own external IP to use just get a VPS and I don't see a disadvantage to privacy from owning a dedicated IP

I just explained it to you

Why would you want a dedicated IP anyway if you are not leaving the country and need to tunnel your netflix or something

I know what you mean though by owning a mesh of IPs does gurantee you more privacy because it's shared

And when Mullvad gets a warrant from the FBI and asks what someone was doing they laugh

But when Polygon gets that warrant

His butthole opens right up

Why would they be getting a warrant anyway

being a meanie head online

For just browsing the internet through your VPS lol

being a meanie head online

I mean you could just get a server located outside the US lol

nope

you are still a us citizen

But with that argument the same can be said with using ProtonVPN

Which they have servers in the US

i don't know anything about protonvpn

The point is that the controlling entity is not located in the US

Or the 5 eyes
