Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that’s ridiculous.

    It tried to. I use an opnsense firewall which caught it. I copied my logs and submitted the domains to a popular dns blocklist and they’ve already been merged.

      Was this like an iso file of the disk that you played played in vlc? And you’re saying it tried to ping that telemetry domain? I’m not quite understanding the context here.

          So you put the physical disk in and it plays through vlc player on your pc?

          If so, are you sure it was vlc that pinged the domain and not the bluray player?

            Both devices made ping attempts. Not hard to confirm with firewall logs bc of timestamps and internal IP addresses.

              Interesting. Got it. Pihole is helpful as you said. Also maybe set a firewall rule for vlc not be able to connect to the wider Internet.
