# Example configuration snippet for NetworkManager to
# overwrite some default value for more privacy.
# Put it for example to /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/30-anon.conf
#
# See man NetworkManager.conf(5) for how default values
# work. See man nm-settings(5) for the connection properties.
#
#
# This enables privacy setting by default. The defaults
# apply only to settings that do not explicitly configure
# a per-connection override.
# That means, if the connection profile has
#
#   $ nmcli connection show "$CON_NAME" |
#       grep '^\(connection.stable-id\|ipv6.addr-gen-mode\|ipv6.ip6-privacy\|802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address\|802-11-wireless.mac-address-randomization\|802-3-ethernet.cloned-mac-address\)'
#   connection.stable-id:                   --
#   802-3-ethernet.cloned-mac-address:      --
#   802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address:     --
#   802-11-wireless.mac-address-randomization:default
#   ipv6.ip6-privacy:                       -1 (unknown)
#   ipv6.addr-gen-mode:                     stable-privacy
#
# then the default values are inherited and thus both the MAC
# address and the IPv6 host identifier are randomized.
# Also, ipv6 private addresses (RFC4941) are used in
# addition.
#
#
# For some profiles it can make sense to reuse the same stable-id
# (and thus MAC address and IPv6 host identifier) for the duration
# of the current boot, but still exclusive to the connection profile.
# Thus, explicitly set the stable-id like:
#
#   $ nmcli connection modify "$CON_NAME" connection.stable-id '${CONNECTION}/${BOOT}'
#
# ... or keep it stable accross reboots, still distinct per profile:
#
#   $ nmcli connection modify "$CON_NAME" connection.stable-id '${CONNECTION}'
#
# ... or use the same stable IDs for a bunch of profiles
#
#   $ nmcli connection modify "$CON_NAME" connection.stable-id 'my-home-wifi yada yada'
#
# ... or use the same IDs for a bunch of profiles, but only for the current boot
#
#   $ nmcli connection modify "$CON_NAME" connection.stable-id 'my-home-wifi yada yada/${BOOT}'
