I can easily pay for a VPN service with crypto anonymously. I can also use a VPN run by a company outside my country of residence and jurisdiction.

Neither of those is possible with my ISP.

Paying with crypto does something to deindentify you, but does nothing about your traffic. It's still being watched.

Yes and 5G provider knows your exact location while VPNs can be easily chained.

Sure, if you want to get crazy with it you put prepaid phone in another location, put it on your Tailscale VPN then proxy all traffic through the prepaid phone with something like: https://github.com/kost/revsocks

Phone doesn't even need data if you have access to wifi wherever you stash it.

VPN chaining easier though.

		Whole idea of "put phone in location X" alone is much harder to implement than to buy 5, 10 or 100 VPN account or servers with crypto and setup how you like. Like you need to physically be there, need ability to connect phone it to electricity and somehow maintain if it e.g reboots. And stay anonymous while doing so? I'd say that Hollywood kind of solution.

Make it a “tourist eSIM” for a good measure. Your phone will be in one country, your exit IP in another (because there usually use roaming).

That said, you might still want to use a VPN on top of that, depending on what you’re doing.
