my IP address resolves to my NIP-05 so whatever
Except for clients that use an image proxy like Amethyst
I'm running a VPN but I don't see any image 🤔
Interesting, its a .html link created with canarytokens.org. Amethyst renders it as image, probably kind of a webpage preview.
it looks like it either returns an image or html page based on the requests "Accept" header
I just tested it with curl -v -H "Accept: text/html" and it returned html
Snort uses an image proxy. But it definitively returns an image.

I pray to you that this won't open on my Amethyst eventually. Mobile data here in germany switches IPs faster than some do their panties xD
Amethyst also uses an image proxy. But yeah I guess IP address received by this won't be very useful/static.
