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?
