>What is creepy here is that a random website which I closed ten minutes ago get to know when I unplug my ethernet cable. Not really, since the connections aren't kept around forever[1], and can be closed for a variety of other reasons (eg. closing the browser), so it's a really poor indicator of "ethernet unplugged". If anything, since nothing's being sent over the connection, it's impossible to distinguish between "ethernet unplugged", "computer going to sleep/hiberate", or "middlebox killing idle connection".
