IMHO, anonymizers are total bull****, and they slow down your internet connection by lots by chaining proxies. You're better off using a single proxy or none at all (your IP address is already anonymous, the only thing they know is your ISP and your region, or in my case, my province). Only your ISP knows who you are at any given time (because they know which IPs they assign to whatever username). Besides, your IP changes. For a good port scanner, try nmap, I think there's a Windows port floating around.

By minimal bloat, I assume you mean command line (which is what nmap is all about, even though there is a Windows GUI for it).

    • Some help with this plz.
    • Yeah, this was a major miss by MS. Having no way (without 3rd party software or running commands) to see the system time in seconds is just dumb. I get that is uses more battery power, so that is way it was on the notification screen instead of the taskbar itself, that screen isn't up all that often.
    • I totally agree. I may not love Windows 11, but I agree (and often point out) that the anti-11 hype is way over blown. I kind of suspect that as people are forced off Windows 10 onto the (likely) Windows 11 25H2 we will hear a ton of people acting like Windows 11 is finally usable for the first time. Hey, if that is their opinion, fine, but I can't help but wonder if they would have had the same option had they been forced onto version 23H2 or 24H2.
    • I have often thought this as well!! Why make a menu when 80% of the time Uninstall is the only option, and the other 20% of the time Repair is the only other option? That UI has plenty of room for those to appear as buttons...which would be more touch friendly too, something MS claims to care about.
    • People might assume I am a Win11 fan/supporter because I frequently call out what I preserve to either be exaggerations or misinformation about Windows 11. I try not to ever take sides. Just because I disagree with a statement made, doesn't mean I agree with the opposition, or even disagree with the sentiment behind the person making the statement. I have on occasion gotten in disagreements with people making overly glossy statements about Windows 11 or Windows in general, just like I have (on other forums) gotten into political disagreements with people who are on my side (to the extent having a "side" is even a thing when it comes to complex issues). Like any human, I am far from perfect, but I try my best to not be dogmatic with my thoughts.
