Q&A

Welcome to the Power Users community on Codidact!

Power Users is a Q&A site for questions about the usage of computer software and hardware. We are still a small site and would like to grow, so please consider joining our community. We are looking forward to your questions and answers; they are the building blocks of a repository of knowledge we are building together.

How effortlessly can universities check where you logged in? What other IT details can they determine?

Assume you're accessing your university Canvas LMS and Intranet (is this the correct term?) — e.g. your university email, library website, etc... — normally, without VPN or proxy. Assume you haven't revealed anything about your locations or Internet details to university staff.

How readily or handily can university staff on their own deduce which city you logged in, if they can do this at all?

And how much can university staff deduce? IP address? ISP?

I don't think that Power Users is the right place to ask about this kind of thing. It isn't about the usage of specific software or hardware.
