Anyone have an ideas on what app(s) could be the culprit? It seems to be regular enough to have it be 469 hits a day! Which is nuts. I would ask her, but as many children of a parent know’s, that’s like pulling teeth lol… But I figured some more tech savvy folks here might actually already have the answer as Reddit and search engines aren’t as reliable these days. 😣 Thanks in advance for any help as I’m stumped to figure it out as she complains about the battery drain incessantly.

    youre right. i forget how difficult searching for a host name online is. especially difficult for someone self hosting a firewall or pihole, who can then see dns lookups.

    super complicated.

      Some people don’t do their own tech support bud… They have a cousin or family member who set it up so only know the absolute bare minimum.

      Try stepping outside yourself in these situations, if the guy came asking for help means they probably already did the bare minimum and still can’t figure it out and is praying someone more skilled can assist.

      Dunno who peed in your cornflakes today, but it doesn’t cost much to try being nice to strangers.
