This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not really.

If your browser is properly configured, it'll recognize a MITM attack, so you'll know if your traffic is properly encrypted because it checks root certs against a known good set. The only concern is domain name leakage (both from DNS and SNI), but that's a privacy thing, not a security thing. DoH fixes the DNS issue, so consider that for a low hanging fruit privacy win.

If you're accessing things outside a browser... don't do that on public WiFi unless you can confirm it verifies certificates.
