It's my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we're paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be ~~fed to alligators~~ locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

Is that actually it? So could software be written to just +1 TTL on incoming and -1 on outgoing packets and then problem solved?

You would need pretty low level access so that comes around to custom rom again..

You can spoof MACs so couldn't you spoof a IMEI as well? Theoretically speaking, not on your bog standard $2 ISP modem

Yes, I don’t know all the solutions but one would be using iptables in linux and mangling the packets to adjust ttl, “normal” ttl can vary by carrier though, and with many phones there is an extra hop to account for as the phone is a router. You should be able to tell from a ping or trace route whats “normal”, but nowadays with carrier grade nat, I think it gets messed up sometimes.

You can spoof inei information, but it appears difficult r/privacy thread on the topic.
