VPN Randomizer (alien.top)

I've developed a Python application which rotates VPN gateways from one or more providers. This will change your outbound IP address, and optionally VPN provider(s), on a random basis within a given time period (eg, every 2-4 hours). This uses Docker, the Gluetun VPN client, virtual machines, and optionally HAProxy, MQTT, InfluxDB and Unbound DNS.

I'd really appreciate feedback from members of this subreddit, whether that's in regards to the general concept, the example architecture I've included in the repo (below), the code itself, or whatever else you might have!

Randomizer supports all providers supported by the Gluetun VPN client including custom providers. The randomizer project has been biased towards Wireguard and Linux, with OpenVPN and other OSes in near-term consideration. It's my intention to keep the project as flexible as possible allowing ease in adopting personal modifications.

Since I'm not seeing anyone else say it; I think it's a cool concept and the first time I've seen someone make this. I can imagine this being added to one of those ultra privacy focused bootable Linux distro's. Nice work!

But this is not privacy. This is creating false sense of privacy.

One could even argue that it is reducing privacy by intentionally giving your browsing habits away to more than one entity, thereby increasing the chance of actually being spied on.

For education is perfect, though. Kudos to that.

I was thinking more along the lines of people who don't care about some random vpn companies knowing fragments of their browsing habits as opposed to the government of their country knowing it, in order not to get arrested or killed.
