    Not mullvad. Paid for my VPN with cash.

    You know that spoofing an IP is trivially easy, right?

              when you open an IP connection for your phone call or your VPN, there need three packages to be sent back and forth. you won’t get the second one if you spoofed the IP, hence the call or VPN won’t even start.

                  i don’t think that means what you think it does. it just changes who knows your IP to another node. if you want to establish a connection there will be someone who knows your real IP. how else will you recieve a reply package to complete a connection?

                    I’m not here to argue with you or teach you. It’s really not an advanced concept. If you’re lost go talk with ChatGPT or something.
