is surfshark’s ‘nexus’ thing any good? do other vpn providers have a similar thing that gives you new ip for every link/webpage you click?

at the end of this video guy talks about it https://www.nsfwyoutube.com/watch?v=uSGVk2KVokQ

    I doubt it would help. My employer uses Akamai as a CDN & security provider for our websites. Their bot analysis tools regularly flag distributed bot activity that can come from a handful or a few thousand IPs. They do a range of browser fingerprinting, TLS fingerprinting, etc. to uniquely identify traffic across ranges of IP’s. I’m sure Google/Youtube has the ability to do this as well.

    Any given client would need to regularly randomize the order of headers in requests, randomly include/exclude optional headers, and also randomize TLS negotiation to try to circumvent all the fingerprinting these big corporations perform.
