Interesting:

- Lots of IPV6 requests coming from HN.

- What is the "dnt" header most requests carry?

It is the "Do Not Track" header[1], which indicates that the user doesn't want to be tracked.

OMG. So people who do not want to be tracked voluntarely add another bit of tracking data to their requests.

It's funny you mention that. I intentionally disable IPv6 a while back, because it kept breaking things for me.

At some point either the router reset or my OS settings did (or both) because I recently discovered it was back on, despite not doing so myself.

I'm guessing it's on by default in enough places now that you'll see mostly ipv6.
