How to hide your identity from Google, specifically?

[Ghorax]

I need to create a Gmail account, and it has to be Gmail, can't be other email provider.

I could get a virtual phone number to verify it, then only interact with that account via Tor and Tails. Problem is that these solutions keep changing your IP and MAC, sometimes even to blacklisted addresses, which are going to trigger "suspicious activity" from Google's end sooner or later.

Furthermore, I've heard of people that got locked out of their accounts even with correct login and verification credentials, simply because they were trying to access their Gmail from a different device.

What are solutions that can keep the same IP/MAC, while not handing them my identity?

What I'm thinking of doing as of now is:

• 1: Buy a new dedicated mobile device.
• 2: Use Brave browser.
• 3: Use one virtual machine per Gmail account.
• 4: Use a MAC changer and switch to a different one per Gmail account.
• 5: Use VPN on mobile to change IP address.
• 6: Use virtual phone numbers for each account.

If you would use iPhones instead of Android devices, nobody would be able to see sensitive device data like your MAC addresses.

Use an anti detect browser and a Static ISP proxy per account. You will need to Verify via SMS if you use a VPN

The Static ISP is 2.8 per month?
Do you know of a virtual phone provider that works for Gmail?
If virtual phones aren't an option, what about verifying with different chips on the same phone? I believe Androids will send location and other data to Google, is that an issue?

I personally think that you can't run from Google in the house of Google (the Android). They will track you in a way or another on Android.
If you are thinking to create Gmail accounts then may be anti-detect browser or iPhone automation.
And mostly they want a phone verification and sms-active has worked for me before.
Hope that helps!

True, only realized it later on.

My setup as of now will be the following:

• 1. Different Gmail for each YT channel.
• 2. Virtual or real phone numbers for verifying each Gmail. Virtual phone numbers for a one-time SMS verification are <$1. For long-term, they range between $30 and $50 a month per number. I guess you could run for a while on one-time, but Google will sooner or later require a verification from that number, which you won't have, and you will lose the account. For the real phone route, Android phones are basically Google spyware, so ideally you would either use an alternate privacy-focused OS with a supported brand of Android-type phone, and then buy a lot of physical Sims, or get an iPhone and load it with several different eSims.
• 3. Static Residential Proxies. Cheaper than VPNs with dedicated IPs and your IP also won't keep changing, thus not flagged for "suspicious activities". Generally $1 to $3 per proxy per month, but you have to buy a minimum of 10 to 20 of them. Use one proxy per account.
• 4. Anti-detect browser, with one profile per accounts. Some offer up to 10 free profiles.

Here's a possible solution you may use for your accounts registration and make sure you never loose access to them and may not give the Google your true identity.

You will need following setup.
A dedicated android device with a sim not registered on your name or ID.

Use the android to register an account using the sim you have in that phone and put that sim's number as 2FA and recovery phone. Let's call this first account 'Account A' for example.
Now download Google authenticator and use 'Account A' to backup your authentication codes.
Add authenticator as 2FA as well on your 'Account A'.
Download the backup codes after enabling 2FA for 'Account A'.
We need to make sure we never loose access to this account.

Now after all the hard work of securing the 'Account A' we do following.

Register a new account from anti-detect browser or Android or anything you want and verify it using virtual number. After registration remove the phone number if that got attached to your account.
Add same authenticator as 2FA and download Backup codes for this account as well. Let's call this account X1.
Add account 'A' as recovery email for X1.

Now you will never loose access to any of your Google account.
If Google ever asks for verification you have 2 options. 2FA or Backup code. If authenticator is ever unavailable for any reason you can use Backup code to login or you can use recovery email of 'Account A' to login.

And you will never loose access to your main account or 'Account A' because you have all verification methods for that account. For example if authenticator is not available you can use phone number verification or you can use Backup code to login.

I'm not sure if that will help you in any way but this is very effective. It's like a chain and you theoretically never loose access to any of Google account you create.

I'm using this method personally BTW. Not to hide my identity from google but to make sure all accounts are always accessible and if Google ever asks for any verification I have that.

You can also use a password manager to save Backup codes etc.

Thanks all!
