How would I go about making a new account?

• Navigate via a VPN (NordVPN, IPVanish, ExpressVPN will suffice)
  

This is unfrotunately a bad advice. Prefer to avoid: LTE(mobile phone hotspot), VPN, proxy
Reason: TCP/IP Fingerprint - there's a field called Link.
wireguard/vpn/proxy - shows tunnel/vpn
mobile hotspot - shows tunnel/vpn
connected directly to home router - shows modem/ethernet <-- what you want

You don't want to give wrong impressions...

How would I go about making a new account?

How would I go about making a new account?

• Navigate via a private search engine (prevent your online behavior being tracked)
  

Same here.
