Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Orca Slicer reaches out to various IP addresses and websites over the network on ports 80, 8000, 8080, and 10001 (possibly others). There are a handful of clear requests to Bambu or AWS ELB servers, but the nature of most of the remaining requests is unclear. Many do not have any DPI-indicated hostnames associated, and both the data being transferred as well as who it is being sent to are unclear. For example, I have observed requests to connect to chats.partialqyrlkfa.com, 64.42.179.82, 173.234.30.210, 118.107.244.104, and many others.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Is it possible to get these connections documented, including the nature of the information being sent and the purpose it is being sent for? It would also be helpful to know which are required for the software to operate (or which functions depend on each connection).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using other slicers that don't send data to unidentified third parties unannounced.

I am currently attempting to figure out why my print jobs seem to send to BambuLabs' servers fine, but then take minutes to "download" them to the printer. Looking at my firewall I am seeing a lot of this same strange traffic associated with my printer. I have not yet tested this same issue with the official Bambu Studio app - but am curious if it's the servers at BambuLabs that use this strange domain chats.partialqyrlkfa.com and the other misc IPs?
