Anything that transmits a signal can be found, just get that out of the way immediately. The only way to be 100% untraceable is to never transmit.
Mesh networks, however, are pretty safe. Triangulating the origin of a mesh transmission will just lead to the repeater node which, admittedly is a pain in the dick if they kill the repeater and the network goes dark, but it doesn’t lead directly back to a person, just a box they stuck on a cell tower or up on a hill somewhere.
All radios anywhere have this weakness, including the little radios in all your wifi-enabled devices. If they are shutting down meshtastic they are also shutting down all the local networks.
I have heard about this https://meshtastic.org/de/
Okay so the thing is, how do you hide the origin of the signals?
Cuz triangulation…
I heard that supposedly Iran sent police to go door to door and confiscate Starlink satalite dishes, so… like…
Which is why the keyword “communicate safely”
Seems like all civillian radios have this same weakness.

Keep mobile while online. Make sure to turn off the transceiver long before getting home.
