IP address and grindr misdirection
I am aware of at least 4 IP addresses which seem to take an app user to a Grindr impersonation website and also then causes phone device compromise (mobile-data.onetrust.io). This can lead to coercive controlling behaviours by those running the pretend Grindr
Grindr.mobi resolves to 104.17.140.120 and 104.17.139.120 and web.Grindr.com 104.16.234.5 and 104.16.235.5
Grindrx.com resolves to 15.197.142.173 and 3.33.152.147. None of these are correct and if the device’s dns is poisoned then misdirection occurs. Serious organised crime seem to use this to recruit modern day slaves and criminals also use the lack of any oversight to prevent men enjoying themselves (sexually) and a homophobic environment
Grindr.uservoice.com has 5 IP addresses!
104.17.31.92 104.17.28.92 104.17.30.92 104.17.27.92 and 104.17.29.92
Look for these IPs and URLs in the app privacy report of an iPhone
This needs law enforcement’s attention as not only is it damaging Grindr Inc reputation but harming the men that fall prey to the crime gangs

Hi all. Recently, I ran into repeated Facebook account blocks while working with multiple ad accounts. I found an insightful article titled “The Best Proxies for Facebook in 2025” on Traffic Cardinal that suggested several good proxy sites for Facebook https://en.trafficcardinal.com/post/the-best-proxies-for-facebook-in-2025 . I chose a provider with real residential IPs, and it completely changed how I work. The proxy sites allowed me to switch locations easily, keep accounts active, and maintain privacy while managing campaigns. The article’s breakdown of different services and setup instructions saved me a lot of trial and error. For anyone struggling with account restrictions, this guide is a lifesaver.

If proxy server fraud coexists there will be ARP cache poisoning of the device leading to wrong dns results
