Windows pc calling home (even while asleep)
Windows pc calling home (even while asleep)
I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended.
Creepy behavior

Ain't 10.0.0.217 an private IP?
Yes that is the local ip of the pc phoning home
Yah. That make sense now. I thought that's what the domain resolved to.
Never used PiHole but Blocky.
Probably the IP of the device, not the IP resolved through DNS
did you expect it to be a public ip?
