Cheap US cloud computer (VPN minus fingerprinting?): I need a social media account for a contract job, and want to register/login without the account tying back to me. Provider & spec recs? - Lemmings.world

Hey friends, I’d like to: - Register for a social media account under a client’s company name - Research the presence companies in the client’s industry have on the site - Have a reasonable assurance the account will not be linked to my real name nor my network - Use a VM for 10-30? hr/mo, short term I am: - US West Coast based - Tech savvy but don’t code (unless copypasta) - Price conscious - Privacy conscious in terms of social media companies linking my account and my identity — ::: spoiler Assumptions and Understandings Given the complexity of fingerprinting techniques, I am under the impression logging in to a remote computer and doing all this work from a browser there has one of the highest likelihoods of success. I’d measure success by not getting spammed with work-related ads, whenever I have to disable Ublock Origin at least. It seems likely a social network will know I’m using a remote desktop (based on IP and loading time/delays), but seems difficult for them to understand who exactly is using the cloud machine if I only use it for a singular purpose. I would hope data brokers aren’t efficiently tying VM usage back to VM leasers. I understand a VPS isn’t typically suited for GUI usage, and VPNs can leave me more vulnerable to fingerprinting. Finally, it looks like most of the low-end cloud PC options would support web browsing at a reasonable speed. ::: — Questions: - Have I betrayed any misconceptions? - Is a cloud PC one of my best options, and if so: - Can you recommend a provider and specs? - Is there anything I’m missing? — ::: spoiler Providers in consideration w/screenshots Caution: aggressive anti-privacy corporate behemoths below # Azure Virtual Desktop [https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/virtual-desktop/] Too cheap to be true?
