Building your own VPN is super easy and you can run it on a cheap VPS.

I've been using mine for years and it cost me less than $2/month.

(And it's fun to setup)

If you already have a server somewhere, an SSH tunnel is a great, cheap way to have a VPN for browsing. I use it all the time to evade country blocks when I travel.

This takes out the ISP in terms of privacy, but you still have a unique trackable IP under your own name.

I'm not sure that addresses some of the original article concerns.

You've merely switched your home IP with your VPS IP, both pointing to you.

If it is just for browser

Then you can use ssh socks proxy

ssh -D 8080 login@ip

And turn it on in firefox

you can even do it for free with a free tier oracle/google cloud server
