I set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with AdguardHome for a friend of mine, and told him to disconnect everything at home and try to watch anything on his phone, being the only device using his home’s internet.
He just sent me this, and now he’s ready to #degoogle 🤣🤣🤣
He says there were hundreds in less than 5 minutes.
I agree that these should be blocked for privacy, but the amount of these requests is really completely meaningless. The reason there are so many is because they are blocked, not despite it. It will keep trying over and over on failure.
That shows they’re doing a connectivity check to see if they’re online (which they aren’t)… And grabbed Android TV channels.
Connectivity checks in particular are absolutely standard practice. Even many routers do them
I’m not convinced this is a good reason for dumping google
At this point, for me, any reason to dump Google is a good reason.
Bro its just one more connectivity check bro just another connectivity check bro its just a connectivity check bro
