UPDATE

Doubling up the protection (like adding layers to an onion)!

I was checking tracert test outputs when something strange revealed itself.
I had forgotten to turn off the randomized system-wide VPN connections.

It only then occurred to me that I could layer a system-wide VPN over the
SOCKS5 proxy for apps (for an added layer of obfuscating protection).

Here's the fundamental process:
A. Start any free no-registration system-wide VPN.
B. Start the FOSS Psiphon tools to connect to a SOCKS5 proxifier port.
C. Set up Firefox for that port (or use FreeCap to proxify Firefox).

Now, when you run Mozilla-based web browsers... 
1. Your ISP sees only your activity on the system-wide VPN IP address
2. Your VPN server only sees your real IP address & the Psiphon IP address
3. Psiphon only sees your VPN IP address & the ultimate web site IP address
4. The ultimate website server only sees the Psiphon IP address 
5. Your web fingerprint is protected by your privacy protecting extensions

All this is done using a score of registration-free ad-free privacy tools.
