Pinging Google servers #668

Closed bmp closed 1 month ago

bmp commented 1 month ago

Why does the flatpak ping Google servers? The following IPs are touched:

  1. 142.250.196.83
  2. 142.250.71.42

You can check this after launching the Signal flatpak and then running https://github.com/berthubert/googerteller to check.
