Thousands of Requests to Avira servers?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I was looking at outgoing traffic from my TP-Link router and noticed that there are thousands of requests being made to subdomains for *.safethings.avira.com
No clue why this is, as I have everything related to Avira / Antivirus disabled on the router. There should be no reason for it to contact Avira servers this frequently (or at all for that matter).
I believe same issue was happening here, and no resolution -

Can someone at TP-Link please explain this strange behavior?

Hello @RouterUser, thank you for posting.
Can I confirm how did you observe these requests? Can I also have a screenshot of it? To assist and figure it out efficiently, I've forwarded your case to the TP-Link support engineers who will contact you with your registered email address later. Please pay attention to your email box for follow-up. Thank you.

@Kevin_Z I'm using Cloudflare Gateway to capture requests leaving the network. Here is a screenshot of the top two domains requested in last 24 hours (blurred subdomain just in case they are user-specific in any way) -

If I may ask, where do you stand on this issue personally? Has it been address by TP-Link to your satisfaction? Or have you decided it's really a non-issue after all?
As you can see, Kevin_Z seems to be one of the few TP-Link agents with more than just a casual proactive attitude toward this.
I'm just curious because for me, it opened up a major can of bananas.
