As soon as I launched DisableWinTracking, I noticed that it tried to connect to 192.30.253.116 (to Github).

Why ? Does DisableWinTracking spy on users? :-/

You should be more concerned about that shitty os than this tool.

This program does not spy on it's users. The outward connection to this repository is to see if you have the latest version. Nothing more, nothing less.
