Devs explore home-IP agents: Tailscale tricks and a $99 headless Android box idea
Darpinian · x · 2026-11-12
A substantive thread on giving AI agents a real home IP: Darpinian wants agents to do anything he'd do on a computer without rotating IPs to dodge bans. liminalsunset suggests Tailscale for bring-your-own-IP and points to Xfinity WiFi Pass residential IPs at $5 each, which Darpinian calls "reinventing the residential proxy from first principles." The thread evolves into product ideas: a cheap proxy device bridging cloud Android instances to home networks, packaged as a $10/mo service (VMOS Cloud already exists as a mature analog with widevine L1/safetynet/playintegrity), and even a $99 headless Android mini-computer startup aimed at non-technical users, focused on fooling AI detection.
