One thing that's bugging me currently in iOS is that I constantly see a "Privacy Warning" text in the wifi section because I turned of 'Private Wifi Address' since I'm on my own home network.
- lgats 3y agothe purpose of this feature is primarily to encrypt unencrypted (http) traffic to stop both MITM &packet inspection by network admins (and compromised routers) as well as to prevent snooping by any ISP. Despite being on your home network, ISP snooping can still take place-- thus the privacy warning.
- radicality 3y agoIs it? Afaik the _only_ thing that “Private WiFi Address” toggle changes is MAC randomization, so it uses a random MAC instead of the actual device MAC. Which is not what I want on my home network, I want the real address for firewall rules etc.
