As for DNS on your machine .. Xunzi_23 is correct that many locations that provide DNS are tracked and logged
@CharlesV and @Xunzi_23 Concerning DNS: I’m aware of this and use trustworthy privacy aware dns servers already myself for a long time instead of the ones assigned automatically by my ISP, had recommended that to others here in forum already occasionally.
the issue with light browsers is typically the user_agent string
Not in links2. There isn’t even a cloudflare request. While when not logged in, antiXforum shows up fine in links2 on antiX 23.1 full runit (64 and 32 bit both, fully apt-upgraded). But when filling in username and password, after clicking on “log in”, the forum site only shows a blank grey background, nothing more. I guess this is where cloudflare would be expected to do something in order to grant access.
Sorry, I have no clue how to change the user_agent string in a browser. If I recollect correctly, there were some plugins for firefox, but in this browser everything works fine with the cloudflare forum protection, so no need to do so. But in links2 there are no plugins like these?
I’d recommend to check this yourself on a Live antiX 23.1 or 23.2, links2 is preinstalled if I’m not mistaken, so simply click it open and try logging on to the forum ( Or install it on MX for checking out, if you prefer. See below for the needed package ). Maybe there is something which can be done to accept lightwight browsers on weak devices with low resources again logging in to the forum.
$ apt-cache policy links2
