AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking (adnauseam.io)

It garbles advertisers' data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can't work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

That's not how IP addresses work.

You can fake your IP. There isnt really any authentication at the IP level. Just make a packet and overwite the IP field.

Edit: I was corrected. The TCP handshake requires you to have a valid IP you can respond from. So even though you can fake your IP, you can't use that to talk to most websites.

You need a TCP handshake prior to sending any http payload.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that.
