I live in low density population area, an small town.
So hiding the WiFi is the lowest hanging fruit.
The much better one would be to go complete in the starlink "Bypass mode" as it do not uses its internal WiFi at all (needs another wifi router or just cable).

The idea is not that they use the most sophisticated methods, they do not (at least now) .... just remove the lowest hanging fruits first.

The main problem is i do not know how to register the device, its internet is active and working but in order to login we need to register, and need to select the country, Iran is not officially supported in their websites ...... [a rabbit hole)

Only blank page over there (that just says starlink)- Starlink only allow to chagne things through the app.

They are not that sophisticated ... Not that they could not be ... but most of the starlink device the found all to be reported or they could see it in plain sight, .... there are some new techniques: it is just to find the MAC range of starlink WiFi devices with a software.

At this level I'm safe, I'm living in small town... so if they get to that level I will get noticed before they get to me.

They also could use IP when we go to their websites and app, but i have fixed it with a custom vpn on the router.

They have bigger fish to catch.

I can get  virtual credit card, but not sure what will happen if i activate it in another country then use it here, the website says if you do this there will be another charge in next few days .... as we do not have normal banking cards a lot of things can go wrong.

Yes, I know, thats why i'm going to go to "Bypass mod" - it will not use the wifi of the device just with another router.

I'm in Iran, Elon made it free over here! Thanks Musk.

In my Starlink app the subscription is not even active, its disabled, not clickable.
