How to HIDE my static public IP address?

[netboy]

Hey, I have netgate 2100 with latest pfsense.
All I want to do is HIDE my public IP address so that whatismyip.com does not show my public IP

@johnpoz openvpn?

@netboy commercial vpn. PIA,Nord,etc.
There are guides on YouTube that will instruct you how to set up a privacy vpn

[johnpoz]

@michmoor he could run his own vpn server on some vps or something and sure connect to it ;)

• Using VPN service
• Using your own proxy server at a hoster installed
• Using a public anonymous proxy is another way

Depending on why you want to hide it, it's probably not worth doing since it may not have the effect you think it will. But the answer is that you'd use one or more VPNs or proxies. It could be a VPN provider, TOR, Paid or public proxy, etc. Be aware that at any one of those steps, those proxies or VPN servers could be logging your access along the way and it could still be traced back to you. Some providers are more up front than others about what they do and do not log.

@jimp Ok thx to everyone. Decided not to go via VPN route. Worst case will use TOR
