I use a third party VPN service to get around the fact that my residence comes with broadband that hijacks all DNS and routes all HTTP (port 80) connections through a Squid... I also feel sharing an IP with many other users adds to the level of anonymity.

You could set up a local resolver to NXDOMAIN specific IP address replies. Dnsmasq has an option for this. Regarding Squid, what makes you sure your VPN services doesn't do the same? > I also feel sharing an IP with many other users adds to the level of anonymity. Can you explain how you feel this adds anonymity? There is still potentially a record of you using that shared IP at a certain time to do a certain thing, so what is your threat model in which the VPN helps anonymity?
