## What

Webs can try to fetch `127.0.0.1:xxxx` or `192.168.Y.Z:xxxx` to scan your open ports in LAN.

Although browsers have cross-domain protections, webs can't read response contents, **but** can still see the connection succeeds or fails.

There're already reports that some websites using that as tracking fingerprint.

## So

Forbid any website behaviors trying to connect to your LAN or localhost, if user is visiting the website via their domains or public IP addresses. (Read the source code `background.js` to see the logic)

## Cases when web LAN scan is properly used

Not all LAN-port-scan are evil.

- Some manufacturers provide web for user's browser to scan LAN for their product that need updating.

- Some softwares use `127.0.0.1` communication to interact between native program and web.
