  Thats why I spoof my location. Nobody knows where I am. I’m actually on the moon.

    Do you also always use a VPN? Your IP gives you away.

      Maybe they do. Would that be so surprising?

      I blanket my whole network in a VPN, it rotates between servers every so often, and via NetBird which I self-host, all my devices access the internet via my home network, even when I’m not at home.

      It’s not hard to set up.

        That’s why I asked. Maybe they don’t.

      I don’t think that’s true for mobile IPs since they are shared.

        Every layer of abstraction is important.

    You can’t spoof what cell tower you’re connected to.
