Take this with a grain of salt since I haven’t done much scraping (yet; I have a project I just started planning)

I’ve heard you’re more likely to get blocked for using a VPN since some sites will block requests originating from data centers, which is less likely to happen coming from a residential IP address. (Although if you’re already using a VPS, the right proxy may help)

This might be useless advice, but it might just be best to increase (and randomize) the amount of time between requests.

And to answer your question, Mullvad is what I use, and it’s what I see reccomended (from both Reddit, and The Wirecutter) the most often because they store so little of your data, and you can even pay in cash.

I use NixOS because I love that every time I install an app or tweak a setting, I can document it with a commit in git. So if I fuck something up, I can revert the change. And if I get another computer, all my apps and settings are already there. And if I wanna help another NixOS user do something I’ve already done, I can just share the code.

My current setup isn’t available outside my house so I was planning on hosting something like WireGuard. What’s the advantage of Headscale over a more traditional VPN?

Does it happen with Bluetooth too?

Seal is my favorite app to demonstrate the power of installing apps outside of Google Play
