I want to set up a lemmy instance as a subreddit alternative for a community I moderate. I would be running the instance on a local machine in my home so I really want to make sure that it can’t be traced to my physical location.
I already subscribe to ExpressVPN for general use, can I just install it on the local machine, press connect, and boom be anonymous? What impact would this have on users?
At best a reverse IP search can show the general area, no way someone can pin-point your house with it.
Yeah, you’re definitely right about that. I would still like to prevent that from happening. I’d rather it shows the general area of a place nowhere near where I’m at.
