mazza100 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Just thought of an idea. I work for a telecommunications company and am able to use unlimited cellular data. If I connect via WIFI throught a phone hotspot would it mask my IP well enough to bot farm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hero of Time Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 mask your ip? isn't it like impossible to hide your ip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volta Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 No? There will just be multiple connections (of all devices tethered to your phone) to jagex' servers but coming from a single IP (of your phone's connection). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersloth Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Android I assume? If you root your device, which is reasonably simple with a bit of reading, there is this. https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ This application requires a "rooted"-device and(probably) a custom-kernel which supports netfilter (iptables) If you must also use a custom kernel, again a bit of reading will help with that.

mazza100 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 That seems extremely clever! It is android and ill have no problem rooting it. So would the IP still be different even though im hotspoting my own normal wifi mask your ip? isn't it like impossible to hide your ip? No sorry i just ment the ip wouldnt be the same as my home wifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xikenyonix Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've always used tethering, It's my only option where i live. I have had maybe 2 or 3 accounts banned, even while using this, I can also state that YOUR IP CHANGES DAILY when using tethering, I've monitored this myself and saw the results. Even so, It has had no effect on detectability. As of writing this, I just lost a main account (shouldn't have botted on it really, but meh) I was using a very poor script so i guess it's my own fault All good, will be back in 6 months to try again.

casual Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 All good, will be back in 6 months to try again. Do the bans expire in a half year? I didn't know that. Or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
