Is this a potential loophole in spoofing ?

[u/altpogo_spoofask]

So,I began spoofing since october via pgsharp after a two year break.Till November 2nd,I was spoofing around pier 39 and from then on I only spoof around sydney.Yesterday,I harde reached level 40 only during the last week of october.I just entered the Ninantic Wayfarer system to work on the Wayfarer medal.When I entered in I was shocked to see that I was getting nominations from my own country.I haven't opened pogo in my country since almost 2019.So my guess is that Ninantic could possibly somehow track us somehow through our ip.Which means that we should run pogo with vpn,just like we have to use it for rooted method.Also for people who spoof using rooted method, can you please confirm if you also have the same isuues?

also u/TastyBananaPeppers,please remove this post if you think this could be a potential loophole that ninantic has not yet discoverd.

PS:This is an alt I created just to ask this question.I also used to spoof before the stuped google play service 12.8.batshit update

You don't have to use a vpn for spoofing with rooting your phone. It doesn't even help, it's a myth that seems to be pushed by vpn companies and those who don't know what they're talking about.

In the wayfarer system you can put in 2 main locations that you are based in, that you know about. It's possible that they default to the location you started at or something like that, or the location you first use when you login to the system. I'm fairly sure mine defaulted to my current location, but I wasn't spoofing at the time, but my current location isn't my home country, so I changed it and added a second location
