Perhaps a naive question, but how are they going to figure out Pai's IP address without great-firewall-tier DPI?

Limited options for ISPs. They can map a home address to likely possibilities, then use their vast cleartext MITM capabilities to narrow it down based on traffic content. Chilling really. I'd rather some hacker group take on the task.

In the us, if u can get their home address, it's pretty easy to tell which of the one or two isp's are available to them.
