VPN and emulators are insufficient. VPN does not replicate carrier routing or device integrity checks like Play Integrity. Commercial device farms rarely guarantee physical device location, which is what we need.
We’re thinking of hosting physical devices in target countries and remote-controlling them. The connection is solvable, but we’re worried about operations: carrier NAT traversal, unattended OS updates, battery/thermal drift, and long-running failure modes.
What has worked for you? Self-hosted remote hardware, device farms with location limits, or accepting user-reported bugs?
