you have a chance to win some merch and stickers.<br>they expected some tech-savvy people to jump on this so it&#8217;s a lottery system, just submitting an IP will make you eligible to win stuff, not the quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So yes, a small automation got me a pair of IPinfo socks &#x1f605;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOTE: I&#8217;m trying to play fair here, you could just use proxies and forge the requests, but that&#8217;s a tad unfair <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

the opportunity to automate this with my iOS device, but I quickly ran into the issue that people needed to reach me, and being in airplane mode isn&#8217;t the best way to be reached, so I got hold of a Pixel (7a) phone and continued my automation over there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this page<\/p>\n\n\n\n<nav aria-label=\"Table of Contents\"

back off, and wait for the provider to assign you an IP (in my case that&#8217;s 11 seconds on an iPhone 13 Pro) then open the IPinfo app (in case it crashes).<br>repeat this forever<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
