Randomizing server-side addresses

A system that anonymizes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of endpoints using anonymized IP addresses, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a Domain Name Service (DNS) resolver of a DNS service, an indication of an actual IP address that corresponds to a domain name and is usable by a client device to communicate with an endpoint;
• generating an anonymized IP address by:
• populating a first portion of the anonymized IP address with a network IP address of an intermediate device, the intermediate device being disposed between the client device and the endpoint;
• and
• populating a second portion of the anonymized IP address with anonymized IP address bits;
• creating a mapping between the anonymized IP address and the actual IP address of the endpoint;
• and
• providing the mapping to the intermediate device.
