I was wondering if you could expand on your comment because I am confused. How is seeing what IP addresses an app communicates with a violation of GDPR? If I can't see the content of the data it's sending but just where it's going, that is not exactly a violation.
It's not illegal to communicate with an IP address, there could be many reasons $app sends a request via a US server.
Like a postman with an address and an envelope isn't enough to just assume a crime has been committed it works the same digitally...
