With how many lawsuits they get and the total amounts they now have technically lost in court, how is it possible they still hide their hosting infrastructure? Anna's archive hosts a truly monumental amount of content and its not like its exactly easy to host petabytes(?) of content in secret easily. Hell the orders for hard drives should make it easy to find them. It's not like they can just tuck a raspberry pi with an Ethernet connection somewhere and throw up a proxy and call it a day. What kind of techniques are required to hide that amount of infrastructure? Especially under such scrutiny as the US government and many publishers coming for their throats I can't imagine it's a small feat.

They do hide the servers though, see other commenter's link - straight from the horse's mouth

    Your computer always connects to something using an IP adress which is not hidden. That something can be a proxy or similar to hide another server, but there's always a visible server.

    A proxy server is used to hide the actual application server. They also run separate servers on tor

    That proxy server is visible (that's my whole point) and can be forced to take it down, and very few use Tor or I2P

    Most aren't though, they're behind cloudflare

    Using cloudflare means you're using them as a proxy. Cloudflare can be pressured with court orders
