    I choose a quite obscure LAN IP so it’s less trivial for someone who gets past the firewall to target a host. There are thousands of LAN subnets, so once you divide a non-unique fingerprint into thousands, it’s quite trivial to identify unique hosts, particularly if the traffic to a particular site is not in the thousands.

    Even running a browser add-on/extension is sufficient to alter a fingerprint to be more unique.
