If you ping it from UK and it ping >10ms then you know its there. And you are triangulating from multiple countries.


You could vary the additional latency based on the location of the IP you're replying to? Or just hash the requesting IP and use that as a seed to generate that particular IP's random extra latency that always stays the same for that IP. Which feels like enough to make triangulation hard. Though I'm just spitballing.
