Makes me think... if you exclusively use IPv6 you might be fine because they can't geolocate you that easily 🤔
Would that really matter, though? Afaik, they could still just.. ask your ISP who that IP was assigned to, which is what they're going to do with IPv4 anyways.
@SolOrion They don't deal with ISPs outside the country, because they can't sue them at a German court.
So they need to know it's a German ISP beforehand so they can request personal information accordingly. But maybe they could still figure it out from IPv6 address ranges... I'm not entirely sure.
Yes you can do that easiely with a ripe whois query. And they definitely do.
@the1HOknocks @Alextheacceptable @SolOrion dammit.
