[Help] How can I self host services (eg, a website, lemmy instance, vpn) on my own hardware while hiding my IP?

(I asked this on r*ddit a long while ago, but I don't think I explained myself properly)

Basically, I would like to host a few services on my own metal (and not anywhere else in the world!) to play around with and learn, like my personal site, lemmy instance, vpn, fdroid, image host, etc etc.

I would also like to hide my public IP address because I don't want people who connect to me to know my location (even if it's rather coarse).

I know that this isn't possible without at least another server in a different physical location, but I really have no idea how to approach this. What software do I run? What is this action called? What do any of these AWS/Azure service names mean? How much would I realistically need to pay? Etc etc.

Anyone have any pointers?
