Anybody have any stats on what percentage of websites and or percentage of global web-traffic hits websites that are hosted on their own personal unshared IP, vs those that are hosted on shared IPs?
Because if 90% of websites are hosted on unshared IPs, then this whole thing about DoH and/or ESNI providing some sort of privacy is complete bunk. An ISP can still see exactly what website you're visiting when connecting to an unshared IP by virtue of which IP you're connecting to. The methods for mapping a raw IP to a website when that IP is unshared, are numerous and effective.
DoH/ESNI only provide privacy if the vast majority of websites are on shared IPs.
DoH/ESNI only provides privacy if we have already (or are planning to) centralise web traffic behind a handful of gatekeepers.
- mike-cardwell 7y agoMultiple downvotes because I pointed out that the whole promise of DoH is that it stops ISP's from being able to see and sell which websites you're visiting, but ISP's will still be able to see and sell which websites you're visiting, unless we stick most websites behind shared IPs. I guess that's step 2 in "advancing" the web.
