Ping ISP first hop router instead of eff.org

Open Rangak opened this issue 10 years ago • 0 comments

To test ping latency and connectivity we ping eff.org currently. So routers are "calling home" directly without TOR and weakening the targeting protections built for the software update mechanisms. Also from technical and privacy perspective it is better to ping ISP first hop as that is what is relevant -- not reaching across the internet to reach the EFF website.
