UPDATE
When FreeGate starts, it "phones home" to the following each time:
[Tue 09/23/2025 11:15:21.19] Attempted launch:
C:\data\sys\batch\dummybrowser.exe
"http://dongtaiwang.com/loc/phome.php"
By way of contrast, when Psiphon starts, it adds much more data:
[Tue 09/23/2025 11:15:21.19] Attempted launch:
C:\data\sys\batch\dummybrowser.exe

Luckily, my dummybrowser.bat script captures that w/o letting it out,
but I figured folks might want to know their privacy may be impacted.
