Palemoon Trying To Connect To 69.195.158.194!

Unread post by Coldlm » 2021-06-20, 04:21

I've noticed that PM is trying to connect to that IP on start, every time! (No webpage trying to load, just an empty page!)

The IP changes BUT the IP range is the same (69.195.158.194, * 69.195.158.197, *69.195.158.198, *...)

I don't use auto updates, and this on both my main profile and a completely fresh portable PM,

I'm wondering whats up with that?

Edit:
I also don't use the addons warning!

Why is PM connecting to that IP on every start?

You're a damned liar. 69.195.158.194 is an IP that is associated with NoScript specifically secure.informaction.com which seems misconfigured or offline now.

Using NoScript is known to cause issues and if it touches your profile past or present you are excluded from support. Until such time it and any touched are purged.

As for lying to us you can rightly fuck off.

Yes im as you say "damned liar", Its not my intention to create any drama, just asked a question!
As trying on a fresh PM, it still tries to connect to PM start page, witch i didnt notice in that moment because i was pissed.

My apologies for that.

BTW if you want people to respect you, you might want to change how to talk to people.
Good by.

What does start.me have to do with anything? Why did you lie about using a fresh profile? Cause either you didn't use one at all or proceeded to install NoScript and who knows what else tainting the profile making it no longer fresh.

So either you are a liar or just plain stupid. Maybe you should be thankful I didn't just assume stupidity on first glance.. but then again you DO use NoScript so maybe you ARE stupid regardless and being a damned liar is debatable.

Feel free to enlighten me on which one it is if not both.

Good by. [sic]
BTW if you want people to respect your post, maybe don't be stupid in the first place and do proper troubleshooting.

Good bye.

Well, I can say for sure that connection attempt isn't being initiated by our software as shipped. Are you sure there's not something else on your computer that's initiating the connection attempt? Sometimes that's a sign that some kind of malware or spyware has been installed, or else an untrusted third party add-on like NoScript.

I would suggest running a proper anti-malware scan on your system, because whatever is causing that random connection attempt to happen is, indeed, unique to your system. You can look through our source code for yourself if you like, you'll find there's no reference to that IP or the address it resolves to in the codebase.
"The Athenians, however, represent the unity of these opposites; in them, mind or spirit has emerged from the Theban subjectivity without losing itself in the Spartan objectivity of ethical life. With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind

HEY

How about you actually include useful troubleshooting information instead of coming out of the gate in a panic?
If you want to know why it connects to a certain IP, then having the full and unabridged output of help ->troubleshooting information will be a good start.

"Good bye" is an alternative form of "goodbye". Not the case with "good by" though, but "goodby" is correct, just less frequent.
