What’s the issue there? How is knowing the local IP a security issue?

And FWIW, the local IP does not get leaked when using a VPN. (edit: Or rather, the VPN local IP gets leaked. Same question, no idea if that’s security relevant in some way?)

edit: Thanks everyone, I completely forgot about fingerprinting.
