> IP restrictions are easy to overcome using mobile networks.

Only if the connection is over IPv4.

The mobile networks were among the first major adopters of IPv6, and most now give each device a unique IPv6 address.

My mobile device (iPhone) relays most traffic through the nearest Akamai datacenter. So they don't get my IP address. And that datacenter has a massive number of IP addresses, which are rotated.

Out of interest how do you know it's being relayed through an Akamai DC? I assume you're talking about private relay which I also use, but I thought cloudflare was the 2nd hop for that?

They're using multiple providers including Fastly, Akamai and Cloudflare: https://www.streamingmediablog.com/2021/06/apple-private-rel...

This is only HTTP and not HTTPS traffic, which most www traffic is these days.
