That latest report on mass location surveillance using SS7 makes me want to try a test. I’ll enable airplane mode and VoLTE, and see how calls and messages perform when only using VPN over WiFi. If that works reasonably well then the next step is to us a mobile hotspot for the WiFi.In the end my SS7 location would always show the geolocated IP address of where the VPN terminates. Does that sound about right #Privacy #DefCon #Phreaks

@Ehay2k You would be on WiFi using the VoLTE protocol to still make and receive calls. I’m not 💯 on what ends up discoverable by SS7. I’m guessing it would report something as your location, But is it your Mobile Operator IP? Your gateway IP?
