This is a router that runs a wireguard that your device connects to rather than the data connecting to your phone.
I can have phone & in airplane mode as the router connects to the tower not the phone. Also can connect other devices.

I understand the advantage of connecting a device that does not normally allow VPN connections. But on a modern pixel you could just use mobile data and a wireguard VPN with killswitch. Then allow tethering and connect other devices to that hotspot. I don't suppose Android routes hotspot clients' traffic over the active VPN?
The big difference is that in your example the phone is still connecting to the tower.
With the Mudi, the phone never connects to the tower. This device allows mobile data without pinging the cell towers with a phone.
But then the router is connected to the tower and can be tracked, right? I might be stupid right now and not get it...
Can the router mask/change IMEI?
Wondering the same 🤔
This router can change vsims on the fly, and would not be sending the imei of the phone as the phone is in airplane mode, with on device vpn, connecting to the router running a vpn.
Again my goal is not invisibility, but rather to not use or need a phone number. I want mobile data so as to be able to receive messages over SimpleX, from wife primarliy, when I am not in wifi.
So she can only message you and not call you
I see what you are doing here. Less friction less arguments haha jk
SimpleX does calls calls 🤣 It more that phone numbers are total bullshit. I pay all this money to be able to be reached and most of the time you can't even hear. Just message me on the internet. Its 2025 y'all!
But you can tell wifey that you couldn’t connect because you weren’t connected to Tor so you couldn’t receive her calls about Target ahah.
No phone number with silent.link
