What does "network may be monitored" message mean?

[mike_from_ireland]

Noticed a new message in the pull down menu today.
“network may be monitored”
Is it unusual / anything to worry about?
I installed Brave and protonvpn recently, maybe related to them.
Using /e/ 18Q on gigaset gs290

if you go to
Settings → Security → Encryption Credentials → User Credentials
does it list an entry?

[mike_from_ireland]

Yes it has httpcanary ca certificate

[tcecyk]

you can use this to look at Apps SSL traffic. Maybe some tracking blocker installs these or the App with this name (“HttpCanary”) itself?
I don’t think it’s Brave or ProtonVPN.

I wouldn’t install a User CA that I didn’t create myself though.

Strange, I haven’t installed any apps called httpcanary, or tracking blockers apps either.
I deleted it. Will see what happens (surprisingly there is no ‘tin foil hat’ emoji

From some of the posts I see, the ‘tin foil hat’ emoji should be the logo for the forums

I also have the ”being monitored message“, but Settings → Security → Encryption Credentials → User Credentials
doesn’t list any entry.
Any advice?
