Why Ubuntu is calling Canonical?
Why Ubuntu is calling Canonical?
When I connect to a VPN my Ubuntu laptop calls to an ip address BEFORE CONNECTING and the whois is:
inetnum: 185.125.188.0 - 185.125.191.255
netname: UK-CANONICAL-20151111
country: GB
...
organisation: ORG-CGL14-RIPE
org-name: Canonical Group Limited
country: GB
org-type: LIR
address: 5 New Street Square
address: EC4A 3TW
address: London
address: UNITED KINGDOM
What is this and why?? Why does Ubuntu check in to Canonical HQ when I connect to internet??
