[Question] If I selfhost a privacy frontend on cloud, wouldn't the original service get my server IP and track back to me? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Does cloud providers share the IP addresses and the alloted users to these big corps and defect the whole purpose of a privacy frontend? Are there any service (FOSS) that could randomise my servers IP?

Might be a noob question but I want to start self hosting.

The original service won't know if it's you accessing them through the server IP or not. What you could do is add your service to the public instance list and generate organic traffic by virtue of it being used by others.
