In the AI era, we are entrusting more and more work to AI tools. However, have we ever thought about how much data these tools are collecting about us?
You Are Being Monitored
Take Claude Code as an example. The March 2026 source code leak revealed that the tool is systematically collecting:
- Your device ID and email
- Your OS version and hardware config
- Your working directory and project paths
- Your installed tools and toolchains
Limitations of Traditional Methods
❌ Proxy/VPN
Can only change IP, not device fingerprint.
❌ Browser Fingerprint
Only affects browser, not CLI tools.
Active Defense Philosophy
Core Idea: Don't rely on server-side "goodness". Instead, proactively inspect and modify data before it leaves your network.
CC-Gateway's Practice
CC-Gateway implements active defense through three layers:
- Environment Layer - Route traffic through gateway
- Network Layer - Force interception via Clash rules
- Identity Layer - Rewrite all device fingerprints
Conclusion
In this AI era, privacy protection is no longer optional—it's a necessity for every user.
