Privacy-aware users should have an option to build their foxbox so that does not probe Philips's proprietary hosted service for nupnp.

Can they prevent their Hue bridge from doing that? Anyone can ping Philips's server, but that doesn't mean you have a Hue.

We cannot stop the Hue Bridge from connecting to Philips's server, so a privacy-aware user should not use the Philips Hue Bridge at all.

We should just make sure that the privacy-aware build of foxbox does not ping Philips's nupnp server.

Right. I'm fine with --something command line flag and each adapter could decide what to do based on its presence.
