Can't you just use a VPN to get past a content block? Sounds exactly like a project a 14 year old me would research

Teaching the youth to protect their Internet identity feels like a win.

How'd you get your user name like that?

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You can update your display name on your instance website.

Perhaps, but most of the good ones are paid, and I would try to set up some way to monitor the internet traffic if I really wanted to go that far.

I self-host on a VPS, but also spoof the client hello of another website so it looks like I'm accessing yahoo.com or something

You would have to actually reverse lookup each IP to realize "hey, that's not a yahoo.com IP"
