Hey everyone,

I’m looking for ways to stay truly anonymous online without spending a cent. I live in Germany, where VPN logs and ISP data retention laws make things tricky. I don’t want to pay for a VPN because I don’t trust giving my payment info, and free ones often log data.

I’m already using Tor, public Wi-Fi, and some proxies, but I’d love to hear any next-level techniques. Maybe chaining VPNs, VM setups, or other creative methods?

One thing I was thinking about is using Cloudflare Warp, since it only logs for 24 hours. If it’s just for a short time, could this be a solid option for staying anonymous?

Also, how long does it usually take for a copyright complaint (like DMCA) to be processed and for an ISP to send out warnings? Could I have enough time to stay anonymous if I’m using something like Warp or public Wi-Fi before the complaint reaches me?

Any suggestions are appreciated!
