Outbound connection to 193.161.204.22

[keithdxb]

Hi there. I also get the same "Repeated attempted outbound connection to 193.161.204.22".

Why would you treat it as a false positive. What program could possibly CONTINUALLY try to have an outbound connection to 193.161.204.22?

If it is "Oy Crea Nova Hosting Solution Ltd", why should my laptop suddenly keep needing to connect to it when it never has for years before?

doesn'tThat doesn'ty seem right tot me.

*doesn'tThat doesn'ty seem right tot me => That doesn't seem right to me.

==> And the "Type" is "Outbound" and "File" is "System" (not Windscribe)

So, how do we STOP "system" trying to access 193.161.204.22?

OK. So even though it says "system" I closed Windscribe and the messages stopped. I then reopened Windscribe and they started again. Closed it and they stopped. Why should Windscribe suddenly want to connect to 193.161.204.22 every minute?

Contact Windscribe support and ask them. I have no idea what networks they use

OK. I have. Will post the answer when they reply. But I don't think you should mark this as a "false positive". For me no application should be trying to send data to another IP address EVERY minute. Do you not agree?

[AdvancedSetup]

You would be surprised at how many Windows sends constantly back to Microsoft

That would depend on many factors. Again, that is a question to ask Windscribe

Thank you again
