Might explain why McAfeeAfterlife went offline too. But to be honest, your IP address outs you, not your IMEI or phone number. VPNs still have to register your IP before it's masked, so regardless it's kinda built into the equation for tracking and monitoring. Even dynamic IPs still have a lease tied to a MAC. If you have ever got a DMCA letter in the mail, it tells you the IP you were using when you pirated the file.
