I want to set up a lemmy instance as a subreddit alternative for a community I moderate. I would be running the instance on a local machine in my home so I really want to make sure that it can’t be traced to my physical location.
I already subscribe to ExpressVPN for general use, can I just install it on the local machine, press connect, and boom be anonymous? What impact would this have on users?
Most people use cloudflares free proxy service and a fully qualified domain name that they own.
You could also set up a virtual private server on a host provider like linode or digital ocean and install a point to point vpn as your egress/ingress point.
