Question about TMN requests [email] #132

Open dhowe opened 3 years ago

dhowe commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I am a user of TMN (with firefox) and GlassWire. This one says to me that TMN send request to :

  • www.qwant.com
  • www.wshifen.com
  • wappass.n.shifen.com When deactivated TMN, Firefox sends no request to these urls. Could you say me why and what are the datas sent/collected please? Note that none of theses urls can be seen on my TMN parameters. Sincerely, DT

(in French, my mothern language) Bonjour,

Je suis un utilisateur de TMN sur firefox et de GlassWire. Celui-ci me signale que TMN envoie des requêtes à :

  • www.qwant.com
  • www.wshifen.com
  • wappass.n.shifen.com En désactivant TMN, Firefox n'envoie plus aucune requête vers ces urls. Pouvez-vous me dire pourquoi et ce qui est envoyé/collecté SVP ? Veuillez noter qu'aucune de ces urls n'apparait dans les paramètres de TMN. Très cordialement, DT

Hi,

There is no reason for TMN to query qwant and/or wshifen. I'd need more details.

Best regards,

Vincent
