Questions on VPNs and Google shite

submitted by i_scream_trucks to technology 1 monthOct 22, 2024 09:56:24 ago (+5/-0)     (technology)

Trying to find a way to fuck around specifically with Google Voice for a mini project ive got going.
Its blocked in Aus.

On VPN everything showing as secure/in the US etc etc.

I can generate working us mobile numbers for recieving confirmation texts and stuff.

But no matter what, cant seem to get around something, either geolocation or something like that.

Any ideas?

Depending on your phone google services has their own DNS baked in
This could potentially be used to identify you / your approx location. Likely Australia based DNS.

Just a thought.

You can buy phones that are rooted and geo-spoofed for playing Pokemon on eBay.
Not sure if that would help you.

I've has a googz number for 15 years still can't recieve calls on it when I'm overseas.

And some places flag it as spam.

It's a US number not sure why it's not treated as one when people try to call me overseas.

Goes strait to voice-mail.

I assume you're on a phone, not a PC? Google has so many hooks into Android.

You can still try. Some VPNs also have a proxy service. Try using them VPN/proxy in conjunction. Also try turning off WiFi, they use that for geolocation. There are also some apps people use to spoof GPS for games, it's hacker stuff so use at your own risk. Maybe you should try this in a virtual machine on a PC.

Not really sure without more specific details. For example, if you're using the vpn from a phone then the gps coordinates of your location are likely available. Or it could be google detects the vpn and notices some overused IP addresses and flags it. Could be some settings tied to the google account like the associated mailing address, or maybe even previous mailing addresses. Could be something going on with browser cookies but that's probably grasping at straws. That's all that comes to mind off the top of my head.
