I'm definitely the victim of Vodafone screwing with the connection. They want me to prove my identity by giving them a card number, despite already having that because I pay for the SIM connection, but both their website and their mobile app are so poorly implemented that it's not actually possible to meet that inherently meaningless request.

It seems Firefox notices this and refuses to contact the site, and Chrome notices this and lets me override, but generally I don't see this failure mode. I wonder what is significant about this particular website.

I unsportingly separate work hardware from personal, no idea if my employer's likely MITM nonsense would have the same behaviour.

Learned something today, albeit with details missing. Oh and Vodafone employee if you're reading this? None of your tech works for shit.
