   For clarification...   
      
   Hiding own IP address is only possible using VPN or transparent proxy.   
   Non-VM sandbox, VM, and browser alone can not do it.   
      
   Hiding own actual device fingerprint is only possible using web browser (if   
   it's only for browsing the web), or using VM. VPN and non-VM sandbox can not   
   do it.   
      
   So, with the given list of softwares, it will require at least two of them   
   to cover both cases. Not just one.
