AdNauseam - Clicking Ads So You Don't Have To
adnauseam.io
A browser extension that clicks on every blocked ad to fight advertising surveillance.

It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

    You can fake your IP. There isnt really any authentication at the IP level. Just make a packet and overwite the IP field.

    Edit: I was corrected. The TCP handshake requires you to have a valid IP you can respond from. So even though you can fake your IP, you can’t use that to talk to most websites.

        I misremembered my internet class. Sucks that it made ya feel bad.

        Edit: and you can put whatever you want as your source IP at the IP level. Though idk how modern security deals with that. I know I was taught that that was a way to DoS attack, so I imagine it’s protected against.
