Deco X20 connects to 6 sites every minute

2021-06-16 14:53:22

Model: Deco X20

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version:

Why is my deco x20 connecting to 6 sites every view seconds? The sites are:

google.com

facebook.com

bing.com

reddit.com

youtube.com

amazon.com

in the last 24 hours there where more than 400 connection attempts to each of these sites. Luckily my pi-hole prevented these connections but I find this highly suspicious.

@TP-Link This is a very strange practice especially with these selection of domains with questionable privacy reputation.
Why not connect to your own domain name to check? (DNS-server overload?) And why so much resolve requests, this seems a very bad practice.
So far I can only conclude that buying a TP-link product is a huge mistake if you take your and your family's privacy seriously.

So when are you going to resolve this unwanted, unprofessional en extremely bad practice? You describe it ar a feature but this is more like a huge bug and bad programming. Over the last month more than 21.000 DNS request blocked by my firewall (3 deco X20's)
