the 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.
