spammers they just email info@domain and call it a day, they don’t try to see if you have some custom naming scheme. I bounce all emails sent to that, the rest is catchall, with occasional blacklist to some TLD like .monster .asia .xyz or .su

Every site needs a government license and it’s trivial to detect and flag incoming traffic on web ports on a residential IP address - they are going to be interested in what kind of " subversive propaganda " you’re hosting

wow, really neat design for this price range

It seems like regular people can get a public IPv6 so they can self host at home. Although, technically, everything public facing needs a ICP license so hosting stuff on Port 80/443 can draw a target on the head

Otherwise rent a vps in Singapore/Korea/Japan plus a .com domain and access via cloudflare tunnel as too much traffic over SSH/VPN/rarely used ports to a fresh Ipv4 address leads it to automatic probing and ban https://gfw.report/blog/gfw_shadowsocks/

I don’t see any AI, it looks like “if it moves, then it’s a target”

Somehow in Italy many of this sites ask payment with “ricarica Postepay” which is the stupidest payment method ever because:

1. You can’t do it online but you need to physically go to a post office and waste 30 minutes in an endless queue (ok, you can do it online, but only if you have a checking account with the post office and you enabled all the online services, which not many do because it has higher fees than a regular bank account while not offering the same service level)
2. You need to give your id card to the clerk and he will record it in the database
3. You need to give the tax id (similar to SSN) of the receiver
4. You need to give the debit card PAN of the receiver (except expiration or CVV)

It’s the most traceable payment method that’s available in the country, I have no idea why so many IPTV resellers on forums and telegram channels use it. Just the fact that the reseller has to publicly give all his personal data to strangers is crazy

(It’s not designed to be used as a payment method, but a way to send money to a relative or a close friend)

So I always laugh when the “post police” (yes we have a police corp for post related crimes) or “tax police” (yes we also have a police corp for tax related crimes) say “we arrested a IPTV resellers” because that often just means “a officer just entered in a telegram channel, got all the necessary PII the perpetrator himself, and searched him in the database”

Edit: first result on Google, can only pay with Bitcoin, ricarica Postepay and bank transfer and in order to proceed you need to send a text message to their fucking WhatsApp

All of three methods are ultra traceable (ok, compared to the “ricarica Postepay”, Bitcoin is a bit harder)

This website has the audacity of saying “Sicurezza e Anonimato con protezioni a livello militare con noi sei al sicuro” (safe and anonymous, with military grade encryption) - anonymous what, need to give phone number and tax id in order to proceed…

Edit 2: news from two weeks ago. 23 users paid for IPTV using that stupid ultra-traceable payment method and of course they were caught in seconds with a simple database search. Prosecutor wanted to give them 2-8 years for “fencing”, judge said “personal use isn’t a crime” https://www.fanpage.it/sport/calcio/il-pezzotto-per-vedere-calcio-in-tv-e-illecito-ma-non-reato-13-pirati-puniti-solo-con-una-multa/

So if real users got acquitted, victims of an entrapment site will be too, as there’s no crime at all

Isn’t that illegal? Can’t someone argue that it looked legit and otherwise they definitely wouldn’t have paid for it?

Like undercover police can’t go around asking people if they want to buy some illegal drugs

The audacity of saying “reason of crash are unclear, it might have been a bird strike” when the camera panned on the holes…
