Good point. Wish there was a way to have a device that could only access my selfhosted applications then totally block all other tracking. I did the vpn route just now. Thanks for that tip!
Cell tracking is external to the phone. It’s done by the towers - they know signal strength, and by using known tables of that data, cell providers know pretty accurately where your phone is.
To block this you’d need a device that lacks any cellular technology whatsoever. Wifi only.
And that has the same issues, especially with companies like Comcast/Xfiniti using their cable modems to track all the devices around them, even if you don’t connect to them.
If route all data through VPN and drop the unwanted packages in the firewall at home, you achieve this. But apple is a bitch and ignore VPN (and even DNS) for own domains.
