"0-day deanonymization hack"

[looks inside]

oh, it's a cdn hit checker? ok bud.

as a general PSA: your ip is not private info, and it doesn't dox where you are at. a cdn hit is based on your IP so in essence it only reveals your general area but not your exact location.

often it's just the nearest city which you can already figure out based on minimal social engineering such as talking about weather, sleeping patterns, general habits. (if you're in a small country or a 3rd world country or ANZ it might not even be in the same country.)

this is a nonsense zero day, but if you care just use a vpn*

*that's not free (i.e. use mullvad.)
