Wrong Sir .....lets use sportsbooks for example they can with digging still get your real ip, it is not hard if you know how
WebRTC is a communication protocol that relies on JavaScript, which may leak your real IP address. I caught so many trying to play at our book which is a broker , vpn providers can block WebRTC which is good and tougher to see but still possible.
Wait, what? How did this get spun into a sportsbook question?

I've never had to use a VPN for a bookmaker. The topic was streaming illegally (i.e. sports, movies).

The VPN I use specifically blocks WebRTC (when I use it). I also have a browser extension that blocks/allows me to control WebRTC network traffic when enabled.

Without a doubt, if a sportsbook wanted to track/locate someone, I'm confident there are dozens of methods to do so (Hubie on SBR could probably list them) and books have the resources available to conduct this work. For the general punter who wants to watch blacked-out or unavailable sporting events, which is what we were talking about, a VPN and WebRTC Network Limiter extension should provide more than adequate protection.

But, yeah, if someone wants and needs to dedicate the time and resources to track your a$$, nothing is going to stop them. You'd have to be worthy of them putting in this effort though.

ISP's know what you stream believe me do they take it too far ? Well most of the time know, you 1st get a letter to cease watching illegal streams and then if you do not listen they shut down your internet. I would say 5% chance that happens meaning a letter.

Funny thing about a lot of gamblers.

Will throw piles of hundreds on bets at the window, then drive 5 miles out of their way to get 15c a gallon cheaper gas on the way home.
Guilty as charged Brad but it’s more like 20 cents or so different sometimes more (Costco gas vs others)

It's not just you.

It's seriously a common thing.

When not betting, plenty of gamblers are extra risk averse in normal life, as well as being weirdly tight about little things.

Look at how many of us have been using Bitcoin for years but never took the risk of holding on to some as an investment?!

The highest quality service is cable / fiber optics if you know anything about technology or even satellite anything else is not as good in every way

I've been thinking about trying Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet.

Supposed to be about 20 times faster than the best normal ISP service I can get here. But it is also $250/mth
