Hi
I have little snitch installed. I like to see what sorts of connections my computer is making
I notice that, while at work, my computer will sometimes want to connect to a local address that I know is related to work. The thing is, it's only when I surf to *some* web pages. BBC or CNN news? No problem. Sites affiliated with the school? Fine. Talkingpointsmemo.com? It wants to connect. Other similar stuff as well.
I always choose "deny until quit", but I'm wondering what they're doing. Are they tracking where I am going on the web? I have nothing to hide - I do read some news while taking breaks at work - but why is it doing this?
Is that not enough info?
