              @lordra: The registry is tracking your usage of it for the free trial, once thats used up, deleting those reg keys resets the trial, so if 2 free uses, then every second use you need to delete that reg data.

              Don't use this tool myself, but if I did, I'd create dummy entries in the reg and then deny access to the system, then no need to keep deleting the data.

      Did you do an interstate lock?

        Yes I locked in WA from NSW using Nord Perth server

    • littlegreenman on 12/03/2024 - 07:55

      3utools works for me but only within QLD. Using iOS 17.

    I'm in NSW - couldn't lock in a WA based price using iFakeLocation with an A01 error, but could lock in a NSW based price with no issues.

    • lordra on 10/03/2024 - 23:05

      Same.

  • Izefyre on 11/03/2024 - 11:17

    In NSW, was able to lock in Vic using VPN. Weird.

  • DevlicK on 11/03/2024 - 19:05

    Wasn't able to lock in WA or Vic or QLD from QLD. When I turned off VPN it worked for QLD though. Should have tried for WA…

    • Doctorbevan on 11/03/2024 - 19:30

    Wondering if they are now actively blocking known VPN IPs?

    • sprof on 11/03/2024 - 20:14

      Not sure as we never needed a VPN before but would be good to know what the actual cause of the A01 is

  • sween64 on 12/03/2024 - 12:32

    Today I was able to lock in successfully. I was going to start extensive troubleshooting but I had success on my second attempt.

    Physical Location Faked Location VPN Result
    VIC WA No A01 Error
    VIC WA Nord Success

    I also confirmed the VPN was working using iplocation.io which showed 4/4 IP services detecting my location as WA.

    6 days ago I tried the same thing but couldn't get past the A01 Error even with NordVPN to WA. It may have been a different external IP though…

    hey all - keen to have a few more Windows + iOS users test out my app: https://geoport.me/

    Why?:
    - iOS17 support on both Windows / Mac
    - State-based fuel prices
    - Familiar GUI
    - Free

    • Tuttorix on 12/03/2024 - 16:45

    • moonshine on 12/03/2024 - 18:48

      your app comes up with a trojan virus detect on edge download & defender. will try again on mac

      • dave31 on 12/03/2024 - 20:22

        Yeah that’s because I’ve used pyinstaller to create the bundle. It’s not code signed either because I’m not a pro developer and I’m not going to buy a code signing cert!

        There’s a fair bit of doco on pyinstaller bundles showing up as malware because a lot of malware is built this way 😂

        I’ve put virustotal links up. The Mac bundle came up clean. The windows exe had 7 detection and I’m sure if I rebuilt the exe it may pass. In my win10 laptop it got flagged as malware by defender but on my win11 desktop it didn’t.

        For whatever that explanation is worth!

        The alternative is I just let people clone the raw python, install the requirements and run it that way. But that isn’t user friendly and I’m sure people will ask how to install python or how to install the requirements.txt etc etc

        • dave31 on 12/03/2024 - 20:37

          but while I'm here - I do need to sort this out so that it downloads without issue.
          Pyinstaller has been such a pain in the arse for this project. The silly thing is the mac version has no detection yet the windows exe built from the exact same code does!

    • Ryk on 12/03/2024 - 19:02

      • dave31 on 12/03/2024 - 20:37

        • Ryk on 12/03/2024 - 23:02

          no, just noting that intel is not supported. I understand that, they're now 4 years old or more. I'm using your manual terminal commands so all good, really.

  • Ryk on 13/03/2024 - 07:25

    7-Eleven having competed on price for the past several years seem to have moved away from that strategy. We'll see how that works for them in the coming months, I guess. Their volumes must be down, they cant be happy about that.

    • day87end on 13/03/2024 - 07:35

      It’s volume vs margin game . You can make up more volume if cheap prices but less margins and when on high prices less volume. If they balance it they can make enough money .

      So they don’t care about us it’s money ultimately.

      I heard 7/11 was up for sale, so they want up their numbers could be financials.

      3. Unable to create device tunnel within 60 seconds. Please try to connect again
      • dave31 on 14/03/2024 - 22:07

        What version of windows?
        I’ve seen this on my win10 laptop.

        1. This is a soft check, but curious where your iTunes install location is?

        2. If you have accepted the “run as administrator” prompt and it still fails, this is probably a driver issue… the terminal window will show the driver is installing but it probably isn’t. So here’s what I’ve done to resolve it on my win10 laptop:

        - open Device Manager
        - Network Adapters
        - find the “WeTest” adapters
        - right click and remove / delete (whatever is the option)
        - ensure the Wetest adapters are gone
        - re-run GeoPort ensuring you are allowing it to run as Administrator

      how to test it? if I download on window how can I use to lock fuel?

      • dave31 on 14/03/2024 - 22:13

        Connect your phone via usb. Make sure it appears in the device list. Hit connect and choose the location for fuel

        I can’t solve the A01 issue. I use NordVPN myself with GeoPort to get the cheapest fuel. But the 25c cap is pretty lame from 7-11

        I had thoughts of using GeoPort to set the proxy settings on the users iPhone and then route your traffic via a state based proxy IP to fix the A01 issue all within my app. But so far it doesn’t look like it’s possible to set the proxy on the iOS device :/

    • zah on 14/03/2024 - 22:15

      Also can't find iTunes - shown in a small popup window. The main screen is stuck on a picture of the world and 2x cmd prompts.

      I've tried the solution as well. There is no "WeTest" adapters under Network Adaptors in Device Manager.

      • dave31 on 14/03/2024 - 22:28

        Are you using the latest windows v1.0.0? And accepting / receiving the run as administrator prompt?

        What you’ve described sounds like the app is still unpacking / extracting itself

        In one of the command windows does it display any output? Such as “base dir:” should be printed so you know where the temp files are unpacking to

        • zah on 15/03/2024 - 18:36

          Edit: I got past this stage, but I’m still getting ‘Unable to create device tunnel within 60s’

          Edit again: Actually after a few tries, it worked. I was able to lock in in NSW (my state) but not the Australia-wide price.

      I have added some ease of use functionality in there, it is a very hacked/tacked on solution…. But you may find it helpful. I am pulling the data from https://projectzerothree.info/ and displaying the cheapest. In lieu of the recent events with state based IPs, I will have a look to add a state based solution sometime this weekend.

          I haven't used your application, but based on the screenshots on the website it is missing fuel price display and a drop down to choose type of fuel with selection of the suburb with cheapest fuel (Australia wide ATM), I'll have to add a second drop down to pick state to allow for more granular selection to avoid A01.

        Your devices iOS version is not supported at this time.
        My iPad is running 17.3 (21D50)

        Is this correct?

    • Tuttle on 19/03/2024 - 11:20

      Hi Dave31, great app- but do we still need a VPN to chopper to matching state? I can connect (windows>ipad) but it still gives me A01 error when trying to actually lock

      • dave31 on 19/03/2024 - 13:12
        +1

        A01 is out of my control. 7-11 is matching your device IP to the state where you are attempting to lock in. That's my best guess.
        Hence why when we use a VPN to WA, our device IP appears as if its in WA both by GPS location and device IP.

        Some people have success with this flow:
        - open GeoPort
        - select cheapest location and simulate location
        - open 7-11 app and find the fuel type you're after - this should display the cheapest price BUT DONT LOCK IN
        - In GeoPort: stop location
        - Go back to your 7-11 app and now lock in the price

        Personally, I haven't had success with the above. But I know others have.

        Others are saying if they use mobile hotspot they are having success locking in any where. ie dont have your iOS device on your home wifi

          I currently use IOS to lock, while my primary phone is Android and it's a PITA to have to swap phones, charge it, use a pc/laptop, 3uTOols, etc.

          Are you able to just lock on the go like in watchdogs?

            It looks like they're making it harder for this to work, if it gets any more complicated than this I may just fill up at Metro which is usually 20-25 cents cheaper than our local 7/11 anyway.

            • lordra on 16/03/2024 - 23:11

              @RobotWizard: Ha ha, yep, was thinking the same.
              I've had two purple tell me that they 'feel' that BP diesel gives them more mileage than other places. But didn't have the numbers to back it up.
              So at the bottom of the next fuel cycle, I'm going to do fill up a tank of BP diesel and see what happens.

      • set Nord to location of lowest price
      • use location faker tool to set location on iPhone (3utools, iFL, Geo Port me etc)
      • lock price
      • if you get an A01 error turn VPN off and on and hope for an IP that isn’t blocked

      If A01 error persists it could be another cause, there appears to be many reasons for an A01 error.

      Good luck

      Also read the OP for further info

        is the VPN set on mobile or in windows, I am using a "imyfone to any" to set location, thanks

          VPN on the iPhone as that’s where 7-Eleven is running.

    Using GeoPort, I don't use a VPN to avoid the A01 error.

    All I do is Stop Location spoofing BEFORE pressing the Lock button.

      Doesn't seem to work for interstate locks personally.

        I locked a NSW price and I am in Victoria.

          did you try locking to WA?

          My thoughts exactly too, why lock the NSW one when WA is like 10c cheaper

            @PhillipC: Diesel was cheaper in NSW.

              @rickb: Ahhh makes sense!

              • rickb on 17/03/2024 - 15:38

                @PhillipC: I just locked in a U91 price from WA without using a VPN. My son uses my laptop and ifakelocation with no VPN to lock in WA prices.
