Tip for OP is to explain wanted outcome, not process to get there. Its hard to do, but gives better results
Besides being able to learn about all of this, this would be the ideal outcome:
Send the Raspberry Pi to a friend who knows about this
Have the friend plug in the Raspberry Pi to his Ethernet
Use the friend’s network as a VPN/proxy/whatever to obscure my home IP address
I wouldn’t want to make the friend set up port forwarding or configure the Raspberry Pi himself, I want to do as much as I can on my own. And, if that friend ever relocates his residence or changes his ISP, setting it up again should be as easy as him plugging in the Raspberry Pi to the new network and I reconfigure it from my end.
Then an exit node is what you want. You can set up with vpn like wireguard using port forward on your side. The raspberry would connect using static ip or dynamic dns.
You can get tailscale basic tier for free, and that will provide an easy to use solution

And then your friend is responsible for your actions on the internet. The end goal you described is so vague that at least I wouldn’t let your raspberry connect on my network.
There’s a ton of VPN services which give you the end result you want without potential liability or other issues for your friend. If you just want to tinker, this thread has quite a bit of information to get you started.
I have a feeling OP’s “friends” wont necessarily even be aware hes connected the device to their network. It sounds to me like he wants something he can hide places to take advantage of unsecured or public networks without having to sit there with his laptop doing whatever shady shit he has planned.

There is also headscale if you want self-hosted, but its not plug and play like tailscale/zerotier and similar mesh-vpn solutions
