What high security environment browses the hostile public web?

You're afraid of the public internet seeing your IP address? The address that is required to serve responses to your requests?



I still consider originating IP address to be a leak - what about private intranets, processing-only infrastructure etc? Not everything is a traditional public-hosting model.

In the screenshot posted you can see the following data is being sent out:

```bash

USER_AGENT="curl/$curl_ver $lsb $platform $cpu $uptime cloud_id/$cloud_id"

```

This is 100% not acceptable. That data is NOT to leave my environments.
