  • I use self hosted VPN for many years now.

    You worry that facebook would associate that static ip with you but the problem is quiet the opposite.

    most website will recognize that your IP belong to a hosting company so they often suspect that you are a bot. Wikipedia wont let u edit articls, youtube wont let u comment on videos. Other than that its fine, just expect to pass more captcha.

    you could pay little extra and get dynamic IP from your provider. That effectivwly changes your IP. Deleting dynamic IP and recreating it gives u a new one. But I dont do that.

    I just hide in the crowed by letting others uss my VPN and rely on service providers often dismissing my IP as bot








  • I hope you are donating to your instance, otherwise by your logic you are stealing there resources.

    How is that my logic? Admins of my instance are fine with people using their instance without donation so there is nothing unethical here. If people must pay to use their instance then it can’t be called “donation”, it’s called “payment”.

    If the server owner isn’t fine with others hottlinking they can simply deny requests

    Can I use same logic to say if you are not fine with people robbing your home, you must lock your door?
