My privacy hardening tips are:

Avoid 5-eyes, 9-eyes and 14-eyes countries^[1]^.
Don't use CloudFlare or any CDN/AntiDDOS services because they decrypt all traffic that goes to and from your server^[2]^^. You don't know what they do with it.
DNS queries sent by the server should be encrypted^[3]^ so that the ISP/data center cannot see them.
If you want a VPS: try getting KVM instead of LXC one. It's so easy to automate processes scanning on the fly^[4]^
