Comment (by cypherpunks):

 warning users about MitM not end-to-end on https is important. modern
 broswers also give non https the label "not secure" ! with still direct
 connection and plaintext. but worse is MitM plaintext eavesdropper. This
 should be a bold alarming red warning.

 thanks for link, i have looked quickly over it and found that it is
 incomplete vice-versa. not meaning only the subnet notation difference.
 but first found example official public:
 {{{
 2c0f:f248::/32

 }}}

 as long this lock will not let you give you falsely think you have
 security. anything but not green. like there was yellow locks on mixed
 content. orange will remind us of cloudflarecrime only. red like invalid
 certificate.
