You're probably missing something ... at least pre IP6 world ... IP6 makes you more easily identifiable of course because there is no NAT anymore and thus every machine is identifiable even if not routable. Odd as it is, IP6 reduces privacy - it was not designed with privacy in mind. this scheme identifies you whether or not your IP changes and whether or not there are multiple users behind same IP (imagine a household with 4 users, or a corporation with 5,000 users behind same IP) where NAT is being used. In any case it allows them to identify you - even if you're on a laptop changing IP's all the time ... -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
