<p>The DHCP client uses the anonymity profile rather than sending a hostname
so it doesn't compromise the privacy offered by MAC randomization. When the
per-connection MAC randomization added by GrapheneOS is being used, DHCP
client state is flushed before reconnecting to a network to avoid revealing
that it's likely the same device as before.</p>
<p>GrapheneOS also disables support for stable link-local IPv6 addresses, since these
have the potential to be used as identifiers. It's more sensible to use typical
link-local address generation based on the (randomized) MAC address since link-local
