      Have you seen the network analysis? It didn’t make sense for an analytics company to buy it unless they’re going to use it for data. I know the sesame plugin is sketchy, too.

          Have you examined to see what’s in the telemetry data? Pi and nextdns just show where it’s going to, not what is being sent.

              You can tell that it’s not sending anything to azure or AWS?

                  So I decided to reinstall Nova to test your theory. As you can see, I have telemetry turned off:

                  Yet, the launcher still attempts some sort of network request:

                  Firewall Logs

                  I haven’t dove into the packets to see what it’s trying to do but if I didn’t have it blocked by Adguard’s firewall I wouldn’t even know.

                  Don’t trust it.
