ATT Mobley IP address and VPN ??
I have the grandfather AT&T Mobley unlimited $20.00 per month internet service. I love it. I have noticed that when I am parked for 2 to 6 weeks at the same campground the mobley assigns a "random"...

Depending on the device you're using, there may be add-ons or apps that you can use to "fake" your location. I use "Location Guard" with Chrome and Firefox on my laptop, and "Fake GPS" on my Android phone when I want a different location from where the device thinks I am.
Note that I said, "there may be add-ons or apps...", not that there absolutely is. Locast.org for instance, uses the IP address as one factor in it's geo-fencing algorithm, but Location Guard or Fake GPS easily fool it into seeing you as someplace else entirely. I'm currently in upstate NY and my Connected Car Plan IP puts me in NYC, yet Locast thinks I'm in San Francisco using Location Guard or Fake GPS. The Locast app on my Firestick though, thinks I'm in NYC per the IP address. I've read that a VPN will work on the Firestick, but I have not had a need to try it yet.
