Grok Bot tests routing VM egress through your local machine to bypass datacenter IP blocks
jeff_weinstein · x · 2026-09-14
Grok Bot is testing a Route Egress feature (Settings > Computer > Route egress) that lets its cloud VM connect through your local machine, so sites see your IP instead of a datacenter IP — useful for picky sites that block datacenter traffic or services requiring your own IP. Other tests reported: choosing which machine to use when running on multiple machines, and importing all Chrome cookies into the cloud VM to clone signed-in sessions. Public release uncertain.
