3rd Party Data Collection to kz0q (dot) com #143

Open nocturnalarchives opened 4 months ago

nocturnalarchives commented 4 months ago

Something that's installed in this setup process tries to connect to kz0q (dot) com after a reboot. As a general principle, I'm not a big fan of 3rd parties collecting data from me without my permission, I'm even less of a fan of it being sent to a domain with nothing more than a placeholder page and no explanation about who is collecting the data and what they're doing with it. Whats even worse is it will keep trying to "phone home" until it can get out, sometimes as often as every 5 seconds. I've attached screenshots from my pihole logs. kz0q-log

Yes, search the issues and code. It's a call to see what the latest version is on the owners servers. Just comment it out in the code.
