There's no need to try and attempt to connect anyone, the entire thing is smelly enough.

Looking at the IP it might be a mobile connection.

> Russia

> MOW

> Moscow

> Moscow>

> 144700

> 55.7558

> 37.6173

> MegaFon

So, lets say it was one of the contracted private individuals that just happened to be travelling in RU for WHATEVER reason and wanted to test the login decided to just use their hotspot.

Given the level of incompetence here it wouldn't surprise me. But this is what whistleblowers are for, starting investigations. Now we will have to wait month and years of bureaucratic nonsense and legal challenges to every information request required for the investigation to even get started.

It's incredibly frustrating.

If one is using roaming, does it show the IP of locality they are actually in or the IP assigned to their home operator? I vaguely remember that it's the latter.

At least with European 2G/3G/4G it's the latter, their home country IP.

I honestly don't know, I am just trying to do mental gymnastics to imagine why this would even happen.

Also I haven't played with eSIM cards either and so I'm not sure their behaviour.

I don't think eSIM would make a difference here, it's job is mostly to derive a secret.
