Sorry I only have this generic troubleshooting point to offer, but have you checked to see if NetworkManager might be modifying your IP routing table in unwanted ways during its operation?
From what you’ve described I’m under the impression that no Internet traffic needs to run through this system; perhaps NM is adding an unwanted default route?
This is correct.
Thank you for the links to Wikipedia and identity.com on that other thread. I’ve yet to wrap my head around how zero-knowledge proof could work for such a basic assertion as “user is of legal age”, which calls for a 0 or 1 answer. It seems very different from the examples given of polynomial computations to prove knowledge of an exponent in a complex math expression. I can’t see what could prevent any client to simply lie about the answer here.
Dude come on. Make an effort. If you really haven’t a clue then start by reading the KDE developer’s blog “Pointiest Stick” and github user Probonopd and his article + links https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d1f2277
Yeah, drugs/pharmaceuticals are a very big market.
Here’s a few I enjoy using that I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
Could you recommend a specific video of his where everything is laid out?
Some people seem to think that blending in is the best/only strategy to avoid being tracked and profiled. The developer of GrapheneOS advocates for this in no uncertain terms, encouraging users of his Vanadium web browser not to use uBlock or NoScript, yet also claims that DNS-level blocking is the only way to block content without sticking out like a sore thumb. I personally question his assumptions regarding this. All it would take for a big ad broker like Google, Amazon, Baidu to detect this would be for them to analyze their web server logfiles to spot which distinct clients (IP addr. x date x time x User-Agent string x other fingerprints) connect to their front-ends but don’t connect to the analytics or ad-network servers during the same page-loading time frame.
One might also wonder whether ad brokers put deals in place with their customers to get read access to these customer’s web server logfiles to do the same kind of analysis in exchange for cheaper rates. Or perhaps under the guise of “let us offload you of these complicated analytics tasks, just show us your logfiles and we’ll take it from there.”
