Any program that uses web UI via web-server may leak internal LAN IP-address of the device, for example IP Webcam for Android does this in Referrer. F12 > Dev Tools > Network > check what requests app makes. Any API is potential channel for leaking user data. Be cautions when using proprietary apps in sensitive environment. FOSS is better in such cases, else decompile, modify, rebuild.

sudo ufw enable

sudo apt install tor

torsocks --version

sudo systemctl enable tor      // start on boot

sudo systemctl start tor          // start now

sudo systemctl status tor       // check if running

torsocks curl https://check.torproject.org

CLI browsers are not safe browsers:

sudo apt install lynx // may leak real IP if misconfigured

sudo apt install w3m // may leak real IP if misconfigured

Using w3m/lynx just to “avoid JS” doesn’t make sense for anonymity; you’re just trading usability and security for a terminal UI. CLI inside a Tor-based system is safe way: Whonix, Tails (easiest way).

Ordinary goofy will say that he has nothing to hide, but he do not take into account regime change, idiotic laws and limitations that may be in future... The less data you share, the better. Nobody has right to poke nose in your LAN, hardware, behavior, business...
