There's telemetry in adobe products that you can't just disable in the app instead of blocking it?
And if there is telemetry that they don't want people to be able to disable for whatever reason, then why would they even separate the servers for it? Why not then just have the license servers and the telemetry servers be the same endpoint so if you block it you aren't running the app at all?
- actionfromafar 2y agoCould be any number of answers, maybe the tracking is outsourced to another division or company altogether without shared infrastructure.
- alkonaut 2y agoYou could still just proxy everything through a single endpoint. I honestly don't know why people would run software that phones home to function, yet are worried that it phones home...
- actionfromafar 2y agoI'm just saying large corps move incredibly slowly, especially across internal silos. A big effort just to deter a couple of users fiddling with their network settings.
- chrisandchris 2y agoMeanwhile at Microsoft: Hold my beer [1]! (I'm still looking for the button that disables Microsoft Telemetry, and we don't even know fully what data they collect). There might be some legal aspect to it when licensing and telemtry are on the same server, but IANAL.

- zeeZ 2y agoThat list contains a lot of Microsoft services and login urls and seems to be more than just telemetry, though
- chrisandchris 2y agoPossibly, idk. I'm using some variant of these lists in my personal DNS host and never had issues when using Microsoft products.
- alkonaut 2y agoDo you mean windows telemetry, or telemetry for other products? because I think this is a per product affair
