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.
Sorry, don’t have an answer for iPhones, but if someone has similar issue originating from Android device, RethinkDNS app logs could be useful: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.celzero.bravedns/
One interesting app I have right now when it comes to network crap is NetMonster. I blocked its network access, but it keeps making roughly 2.3 DNS requests per second. That’s almost 6 million DNS requests per month.
Oh, and when I used NextDNS blockpage, it kept making connections to it, wasting network bandwidth. But that option also revealed to me that many apps which show ads ignore TLS certificates, and just display what gets fed to them.
