Somebody mentioned Vultr. I’ll add Linode, Digital Ocean as the bigger players. Obviously, there’s the Cloud providers like AWS, Azure and GCP.
If you’re on a budget/looking for the best value, look at Contabo, Hetzner (bit of a pain now, their processes and uptime) and Racknerd special deals on Lowendbox (can’t beat this, but remember that you get what you pay for).
Ah, you want to anonymise your traffic using a VPN?
You should be looking at Mullvad - they accept payments over Monero.
I’m just trying to keep the likes of Google, Microsoft and Facebook from knowing my real IP. If I had something that required absolute confidentiality, I’d be using TOR over bridges.
This is an excellent chain of posts from absolute gods in the digital privacy game: The paranoid schizophrenic’s guide to opsec - an extremely entertaining read if you have the patience to follow their techniques.
I make my own VPN, so no thanks. Not going Google haha
What do you mean that you make your own VPN?
Vps?
Virtual Private Server, a virtual machine with a hosting provider
What provider do you recommend? I’ve been looking for a VPS for playing around with some stuff that I can’t run on my OSX server.

Vultr is good, IMO.
Explain more, please. Isn’t your name still attached to the VPS 's IP address because of the account you have to open?
