      I imagine if you’re making a living selling thousands of android instances, your customers are nefarious people and that you would be obfuscating your IP addresses?

      Maybe I can do this all on my own PC once I get my ADHD meds, though.

        No I mean they’ll detect you attempting to get around a ban by using another username fairly easily.

        A handful of android devices with the same external IP or extremely closely geo located ips and activity is gonna trigger a basic heuristic scan.

        You’ll need them to look like they’re not sitting next to each other, that’s all.

        A vpn, then connect them to tor with a random exit node should be sufficient unless you fingerprint yourself elseways.

        Oh: I see you meant “rent” time on an android instance elsewhere

          Ah, yes, I perhaps wasn’t clear; I was talking about renting space on server farms that I imagine handle IP bans and scrambled hardware IDs.

          Is there a collective somewhere dedicated to making reddit unusable, I mean, beyond their own management team? I am in search of a new hobby.
