It doesn’t send anything beyond telemetry, wich can be tured off, but yes you shouldn’t pay for it.
Have you seen the network analysis? It didn’t make sense for an analytics company to buy it unless they’re going to use it for data. I know the sesame plugin is sketchy, too.
Yes all my traffic goes through a raspberry pi and then NextDNS, there is no suspicious traffic from Nova. I definitely think they use telemetry data, but that can be turned off. Idk about the plugin however.
Have you examined to see what’s in the telemetry data? Pi and nextdns just show where it’s going to, not what is being sent.
It doesn’t send anything because i turned it off… Thats the point im making. It has no outgoing traffic records.
You can tell that it’s not sending anything to azure or AWS?
I can say it ain’t sending anything if telemetry is off.
Even if it wouldn’t go through the pi or the DNS to the outside.
So I decided to reinstall Nova to test your theory. As you can see, I have telemetry turned off:
Yet, the launcher still attempts some sort of network request:
I haven’t dove into the packets to see what it’s trying to do but if I didn’t have it blocked by Adguard’s firewall I wouldn’t even know.
Don’t trust it.
I’ll look into it, maybe its update pulls or something. Trust is a overstatement, i basically put all of the apps requests to void, meaning they won’t go anywhere.
