This is indeed true for a non-shared public IP, and is mitigated to
some degree when sharing an IP (e.g. behind home router NAT,
concurrently with others non-Tails systems).
Looks like we'll need to think a bit more what kind of fingerprinting
resistance a system like Tails can reasonably pretend to at this scale.
(I'm re-adding the Cc to tails-dev, that was lost at some point.
Please don't drop it again.)
Cheers!
