OnlyKey-App constantly pings DNS w/ nonsense queries #221

I've been experimenting with different GPG and SSH keys.

When I go to use this app, for some reason my DNS server gets spammed with unresolvable domains. Additionally, using either the snap store install, or the install from this repo asks for a keyring unlock, which seems unnecessary.

Both of these seem highly irregular, and could be potential security/exploit risks.

Good to know. Closing, since it's not your problem.
