I’ve never understood the neighbor approach. What’s the logic for that? Instead of your skin, it’s a person one door down from you, that was generous enough to share their connection with you? That’s not anonymity, that’s just outsourcing the identity to someone that probably extended trust to you. And if other things like Tor remove that connection, then what was the point of using a neighbor in the first place?

Generous to share? What makes you think the neighbor even knows about it? Also, one door down? They make antennas that can reach much further than that. If you're in a high rise building, you can even be picking up something from another floor in a different building more than one door down.

You're just not trying very hard if you're using your immediate next door neighbor.
