I hesitate to ask, but, why do you have your IP change every minute? You seem to have a very atypical usecase

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was oversimplifying. So the user agent and other browser setting change every 60 seconds using the chameleon add-on.

The IP doesn't automaticallychanges, but I use a VPN. Often on shitty internet where packet loss routinely spikes to 30% (considered normal for most ISPs), I often have to disconnect and reconnect to the VPN, which causes the IP to change.
