typically the phone home is looking for a response to unlock.
use a packet sniffer to see what the request/response is and replicate it with a proxy or response server.
this is also know as a man-in-the-middle (mitm).
takes skill and knowledge to do, but once you do a few dozen it’s pretty easy since most software “phone homes” are looking for static non-encrypted responses.
it does if you make it work in those conditions.
software that “phones home” is easy to fool.
Tell that to my Red Dead Redemption 2 install.
Just firewall the software or is there anything more fancy i would need to do?
