 Currently we detect the client IP by doing a HTTPS request to
 https://check.torproject.org/ and parsing the content of this page.

 This can be a problem since it allows an attacker to fingerprint OONIProbe
 based on the fact that it does this lookup when a test is run. What other
 strategies can we use to avoid this?
