- It doesn't have all routes.
I'll implement more with time :)
- I see connection being made to some Amazon domains.
For now, images and videos are directly served from Amazon. If I have enough time in the future, I'll implement a way to serve the images from libremdb instead.
- Is content served from third-parties, like Amazon?
Nope, libremdb proxies all image and video requests through the instance to avoid exposing your IP address, browser information and other personally identifiable metadata ([Contributor](https://github.com/httpjamesm)).
- Will Amazon track me then?
They may log your IP address, useragent, and other such
identifiers. I'd recommend using a VPN, or accessing the website through TOR for mitigating this risk.
Also nope. All Amazon will see is the libremdb instance making the request, not you. IP address, browser information and other personally identifiable metadata is hidden from Amazon.
- Why not just use IMDb?
Refer to the [features section](#some-features) above.

- Information collected by other services:
~~libremdb connects to 'media-amazon.com' and 'media-imdb.com' for fetching images and videos. So, Amazon might log your IP address, and other information(such as http headers) sent by your browser.~~
None. libremdb proxies images anonymously through the instance for maximum privacy ([Contributor](https://github.com/httpjamesm)).
