Just wondering, are you a nomad, a dude going holydays, moving across countries.. whatever.
How do you connect to the interenet? Which tools do you use?
Mobile? WiFi? any secure/anonymous way to connect via cable?

It sounds too good to be true... A sim that can be purchased anonymously and used anywhere... What am I missing here? Cellular service is inherently tied to physical infrastructure - I'd expect governments to make use of that fact. It's much easier to enforce than KYC.

I was thinking about the same, I have always been suspicious about eSIM phones.
How can anybody tell if this is not a honeypot?? That will be a fair place to start, maybe they are legit but I don't know...

So, honeypot was my first thought. On the other hand, if you're only using data and not voice/sms, and everything is end-to-end encrypted, what can they really find out about you, other than your physical location?

I live in South-East Asia and I connect through my glinet router to other networks:
https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-axt1800/
It runs with openwrt and a customized UI available. Depending on the country though, it can be hard to connect. Typically in Japan ISPs use a specific way (called DS-Lite) to connect from ipv4 to ipv6 networks and the implementation in openwrt has almost never been tested.
In other countries it works well, I use it from a LAN port or as relay.
In retrospective I should have spent more money on a router to get better coverage through walls.

this is the way - use a separate device for connecting to the internet

Silent.link + local SIM card + wifis, always use a Tor/VPN connection.
I heard good things about Airalo, never tried it.

I've used Airalo in Switzerland, it worked ok and was cheap.
Silent.link is expensive, I prefer to buy a plan rather than pay per MB.
However, only silent.link accepts sats.

mudi gl 750 is a vpn dongle that you can combine with blue merle to switch the imei every time you put in a new (local) data sim. It comes with an RJ45, and can also relay from local networks.
never put a sim card, or e-sim in your phone - else you are easily trackable and geolocated.

Local sim card with internet plan works great. You can usually get them right there at the airport.
If you connect to a shared WiFi remember to use a VPN to reduce the snooping from others into your device. It's a good idea to have a VPN anyway.
I've been having a look at a more worldwide solution, like international sim cards, or even satellite based internet, but the last time I checked, grabbing a local sim card was still the best in terms of convenience and price. Things might have changed recently though, so happy to hear comments about a global solution.
