Nation state agencies just go to upstream providers and grab traffic metadata there, your VPS/VPN not keeping logs won't help against a targeted investigation.

Nation state agencies just go to upstream providers and grab traffic metadata there, your VPS/VPN not keeping logs won't help against a targeted investigation. Even just downloading Tor or Tails gets your IP "task queued" according to Snowden leaks.
You would want to both obtain and use Tor nowhere near your meatspace identity, pref with different hardware than you usually use, and leave your phone at home if protection from tracking is your highest priority.
