TV services such as this are "eligible" for the rerouting feature of AirVPN. Unfortunately, there is no Austrian rerouting server.

Thank you very much for this. I look forward to doing a deep dive into these! Again much appreciated!

That's exactly the reason I simply don't install NoScript any more. It got old trying to find out which script sources provide functionality and which ones provide analytics. Sometimes one doesn't work without the other, that's where uMatrix usually came in handy, but that's an even bigger source of work. And I don't want to work, I want to surf the web. So my current approach is to simply let them eat cake. Use Librewolf with a slightly different policy config, periodically purge website data and cookies, things like that. Don't know about "essential" but if you're all about sending as little data as possible: uBlock Origin as your AdBlock Plus-compatible, open source request blocker. Obviously. uMatrix if you want absolute and unyielding control of all requests. Keep in mind, this is work everytime you visit a website. CanvasBlocker, so you can enjoy Canvas without having a unique signature. Sends a random one everytime it's used. Some may suggest Decentraleyes or similar so you don't use Google APIs everytime a website needs jQuery or such. Caused more problems than it solved for me. SmartReferer which lets you define global and per-site rules which referer is sent to websites (aka where you came from). Some websites need you to come from the same site, like driver downloads from AMD, they prevent direct linking to the files with that. Privacy Redirect, to use Invidious for YouTube, Nitter for Twitter, Bibliogram for Instagram and other substitutes. Only ever worked with YouTube and Twitter for me, almost all Bibliogram instances are permablocked by Instagram. SkipRedirect, maybe. Some websites direct you to an intermediate page before directing you to your actual destination (I'm also looking at you, AirVPN). This addon skips this. It's possible because most intermediate pages are like "https://my.page/intermediate.php?url=https://the.actual.page/destination.php". Addon extracts the url= parameter and connects you there instead. NeatURL, which removes common (and your custom) URL parameters like campaign trackers (utm_* and others) before the request is sent. Hundreds more, probably.

Just to add to this: In contrast, a really strong point would be a time (zone) mismatch: Your OS reporting CEST as your system time zone while your IP seems to be US is kind of a strong indicator that something's not right. It could mean that you simply forgot to change it, but most OSes do that automatically based on your location (if they get to read your location, the setting of which the overwhelming majority of people doesn't care about). So, the point still stands: A combination of all this info is needed for a more precise detection.

Hello! Obviously Eddie is maintained as you have noticed by yourself. Beta testing is typically ended when all found bugs in the beta versions have been fixed and the customer satisfaction is high. A typical public beta testing cycle of Eddie Desktop edition, when brand new features are included (in this case WIreGuard, new drivers, deep rewrite of strategic pieces of code) may take 9-12 months. This is not an unreasonable time because testing involves about 18 Linux distribution in various different versions, with three different DE and two architectures, 3 different OS X systems, 6 different macOS systems, 5 different Windows versions in two different architectures, various ARM based systems in two different architectures, for a total amount of several hundreds systems where Eddie must run properly in. Considering the current testers feedback you can reasonably expect a stable release at the end of March 2022. Please feel free to report what your concern is exactly, and why you are not satisfied with Eddie 2.21.5 (beta). If you're already satisfied with it, just use it. Kind regards
