The first two points are necessary but not sufficient at least for
people with varying internet connexions (laptops). Ideally, you'd want
to configure it per internet interface. Specifically, this is typically
the thng I do not want while being connected thought a smartphone (even
more when abroad).

So not only a first time configuration, but also an easy way to disable
it.... Your third point seems crucial.
