I’m surprised it stayed up as long as it did. I thought Apple would have taken it down within days.

Anyways I’ve seen this as a non app alternative: https://www.stopice.net/

I mean yeah honestly probably the best, but I’ll take any chance to rant against the idea of walled garden tech

Would I be paranoid to use a VPN while visiting this site? (And others like it) god only knows if IP's visiting the site could be uncovered...

Yeah, I'm probably being paranoid...

Or tor.

Not a bad idea. Just make sure your VPN doesn’t cooperate with law enforcement or sell your data otherwise.

Additional note: check if the VPN does DNS or not. If not then use something like NextDNS, or get a VPN (Proton, Mullvad) that does do DNS servers. Plus they usually include better ad-blocking.
