There is already very little accountability or awareness about what Google Services do behind the scenes. You make a call, your phone connects to 1e100.net; you change some settings, your phone connects to 1e100.net. It's insane that no one seems to be paying attention to any of these.
- shifto 7y agoWhere did you get this from? I just checked my local DNS server and my home devices have never attempted to connect to this domain even though I have quite a few android devices.
- antsar 7y agoIt's an internal domain. The user-facing stuff uses vanity domains (google, youtube, etc) but the servers' "true" hostnames reside in 1e100.net. https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/174717?hl=en https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/174717?hl=en For example, here's the IP I get for "google.com": $ dig google.com +short 172.217.10.238 A reverse lookup on that IP resolves to... $ dig -x 172.217.10.238 +short lga25s59-in-f14.1e100.net. So, you're most certainly connecting to things in that domain, which is just a roundabout way of saying you're connecting to some Google property.

- butz 7y agoCould it be Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics tracking phone usage? Is there an option to disable telemetry in settings?
