When I do a netbird up -A -m https://mydomain.com -k MY_KEY, the installation is not anonymized.

If I perform a netbird status -d, all hostnames and whatnot are visible to the user.

If I perform netbird status -d -A, everything is anonymous as intended, but for that output only - which isn't much good.

Previously, when you installed NetBird and activated it with netbird up -A ..., it would anonymize the entire installation and force -A essentially on all commands.

Please explain how to fix this, as the documentation appears to be out of date, or functionality has broken.
