Hi, Over the last few days my desktop has been attempting to connect to 77.235.60.43 port 443 (about 350 attempts a day) which have been dropped at my firewall as the IP is included in AS60781 (Leaseweb) which has been listed in a local blacklist as a source of spam. A google search on this address would appear to show that this address is crash-reports.kde.org although this cannot be confirmed with whois. Investigating my logs would seem to show that the connection attempts seem to be associated with drkonqi-sentry-postman.service - Submitting pending crash events, although I am not aware of any crash events occurring on this computer over the last few days. There doesn't seem to be any way of disabling drkonqi-sentry-postman or analysing what information drkonki is trying to send and could be a security breach. Attempting to remove drkonqi seems to want to remove multiple plasma packages. Any thoughts on how to disable drkonqi and I also wonder what other kde processes are trying to call home that haven't been intercepted by my firewall. Rob Brewer (Up-to-date Sid)
