I've been trying to hide my IP in an remote machine on Google Compute Engine. My goal is to make API calls, send HTTP requests on this machine but avoiding abuse from third parties who might try to harm me and my systems if they knew what my fixed IP address really is.
API calls are authenticated if I'm using client credentials. But typically HTTP requests for gathering data won't be.
What is the most simple and shortest way to start disguising my IP and have more privacy when it comes to using this machine?
It's an Ubuntu 16.04 as of now. But can upgrade at any time. I have no GUI to use. Please include command line instructions.
