Thanks! Sorry, I didn't notice lack of Galaxy in your initial post. One more detail - could you tell us what firewall you are using?

We're currently investigating this issue, but we're unable to reproduce this yet.

FYI, this is an AWS service aiding with DNS resolution.

Killjoy_Cutter: ZoneAlarm.
Yeah, about ZoneAlarm, i have horror stories of that thing. I remember, years ago, it was warning me of "inbound attacks," which i then reported to ISPs, which then deleted customer services (i got email confirmation that this was happening). I later found out, while debugging connections, that the IPs it was reporting were not the ones actually sending me traffic (which, at the time, was probably "IP Messenger," ut I was a good little 12 year old and reported everything), it was blocking loopbacks to the HTTP server i was just starting to learn about, and reporting them as obscure external IPs (possibly websites i've been to). This seems to have been a bug, but it took them a long time to remove it (i only found out from people that continued to use it that it was "fixed," but i really have no direct evidence).

That said, GOG probably is phoning home, as i think someone used wireshark to ID this earlier in the post, which is a well known and stable network debugging tool.

Killjoy_Cutter: Huh, I thought I had that in there -- It's Battletech.
1. Battletech is unity title. All unity games, according to unity's eula, are able to connect to unity's servers on 1st launch https://unity3d.com/legal/privacy-policy

2. Its game with galaxy features. According to community-driven research, they tend to "phone" GoG, even if you dont have galaxy installed: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/what_is_gog_stance_on_telemetry (but, as I've noticed, you already visited this thread)

Anyway - added this title to my semi-abandoned gogmix, thanks for note
