FOSS Alternative to Privacy? (programming.dev)

Are there any FOSS alternatives to privacy.com? I want to conceal my actual card information when registering with a new account on different platforms so I can create limits, but I can't shake the feeling that privacy.com probably just sells my transaction history. If there's any alternatives to privacy.com that are more transparent, I'd love to know!

Call your credit card company. Depending on the company/bank, they will either give you a few virtual numbers and/or have the option of having one virtual number locked to a certain merchant or utility company.

~~There’s MySudo (which I subscribe to) but they charge 3%. It’s basically the same as using Privacy.com.~~ Good luck!

EDIT MySudo is not open-source, sorry.
