OK, so you are using the existing OS-level network interface settings. 
At least on Linux, that is a heuristic-based per-interface setting with 
a manual override.

How would that possibly work? A new type of permission prompt? It's 
easy for users to decide whether a website should have geolocation or 
microphone access, but the risk here is just extra entropy, which is 
going to be real hard to explain to users.
