What VPN have you switched to after the Mullvad situation. I have looked at nym and ivpn. But don’t know if they are any good.

maybe a dumb question but isn’t a hetzner instance directly connected to one’s identity? I remember when setting up mine, they asked for ID verification. If so then the outgoing IP which is public is linked to my ID and would be a bigger risk of itself. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Yeah, but if you want privacy, it’s a fine idea to prevent public networks and such from examining your traffic patterns. My personal main use case for a self-hosted VPN is for using public networks for private traffic, and I wouldn’t suggest doing hardcore high volume piracy through such a thing.
The idea of using one for piracy is more focused on finding a VPS provider that can accept cryptocurrency and doesn’t require your personal details.
Edit: whoops, realized I got the premises backwards in my earlier comment. Sorry about that.
