In the german forum: http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/grafikkarten/458638-anleitung-nvidia-telemetrie-deaktivieren.html A user found out how to disable the telemetry, also which hosts nvidia is using to send the data to. Maybe you can add a point where you disable the network traffic from GeForce Experience? (In the host file of Windows) # nVidia Telemetry 127.0.0.1 gfwsl.geforce.com 127.0.0.1 gfe.geforce.com 127.0.0.1 telemetry.nvidia.com 127.0.0.1 gfe.nvidia.com 127.0.0.1 telemetry.gfe.nvidia.com 127.0.0.1 events.gfe.nvidia.com ::1 gfwsl.geforce.com ::1 gfe.geforce.com ::1 telemetry.nvidia.com ::1 gfe.nvidia.com ::1 telemetry.gfe.nvidia.com ::1 events.gfe.nvidia.com

You need to know that GeForce Experience is not going to do anything useful afterwards, but with some tweaks like disabling only the telemetry hosts, it is working fine. Maybe you have an idea about this. Cheers

Some of those hosts seem very generic and I'd imagine aren't solely used for telemetry related services.
