I personally find the anchor icon very confusing. As a non-expert in
this area, it doesn't represent anything which seems relevant to me,
and all of the right click menu options, once I figured out to right
click, are obscure to me.

I understand "Hotspot sign-on" and can go from there, but I can't see
it not completely perplexing e.g. my dad.

I don't know what "Reprobe" does (and especially not because there's no
context other than the anchor), and "Probe Results" give some
indication that it has to do with DNSSEC — but I think that if our
users have to learn what that means and understand all that in order to
be secure (or just to browse the web at _any_ level), we're not
succeeding.

I hope we can get a design for this which integrates better with GNOME
Shell and the existing network icon there.
