From the Network inspection (`Ctrl + Shift + E`), `https://passport.aliexpress.com` has HTTP header `x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN` (which I believe stems from the `XOriginPolicy` setting). This restricts the iframe to the same domain. This caused the iframe unable to load because it's different from the login page `https://login.aliexpress.com`.

**Edit:** After pinpoint the issue to `XOriginPolicy`, I suspect AliExpress sends the referrer from `login` to `passport` for tracking purpose, and somehow `passport` could not be loaded if it does not receive any referrer. There are a few options to resolve this.

But even with all that, I repeat, ISP still *knows* what IP address you are connecting to. A simple reverse DNS lookup or even just by visiting the IP address can reveal what website it belongs to. While reverse DNS lookup is not as easy as ten years ago due to the current proliferation of content delivery network (CDN) like Cloudflare, yet it is still possible. For example, A `dig startpage @9.9.9.9` returned `216.218.239.2`. When you go to the IP through a web browser, it redirects to startpage.com. Going to gitlab.com's IP resulted in SSL warning with gitlab.com shown as the valid hostname.

For me, I think having DoH in a browser is a great *security* feature. Yes, DoH has overhead of HTTP and SSL, as many have critiqued. But look in this way, DoH is a stopgap solution, until DNS encryption (via DNS-over-TLS, DNSCrypt or similar) is baked into the OS.

VeraCrypt is a fork of the discontinued [TrueCrypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt). It includes security improvements and fixes over the original—for example using much higher iterations (327,661-655,331 vs 1,000-2,000) to generate the header key—to make brute force more costly. This improvement along with supporting more ciphers and their combinations, means its storage format is incompatible to the original's. User still has the option to open TrueCrypt volume and (optionally, but recommended) convert it to VeraCrypt format.

KeePassXC is a fork of the discontinued [KeePassX](https://www.keepassx.org/). KeePassX started out as a Linux port of (previously Windows-only) KeePass. While both eventually become cross-platform, I stick with KeePassX (even on Windows) for being lighter and quicker to launch. The [Mono](https://www.mono-project.com/)-developed KeePass—like Java—makes it not quite as native as Qt-developed KeePass, thus feels slower on Linux. It last [released](https://www.keepassx.org/news/2016/10/609) in October 2016 with no further update since then.
