ZoneMinder Forums

Recently enabled Snort on my firewall and found that Zoneminder on startup and periodicaly is contacting 34.177.186.192 on port 443

This is flagged as a Network Trogan, Do we know why Zoneminder is contacting this IP address?

That's an AWS ip, pretty sure it's the ZM telemetry. Which is down due to expense.
There used to be a checkbox to turn it off. I suspect if you go to Options->Privacy->(choose) Decline, then Apply, that will stop it.
Port 443 is the normal https:// port, BTW.

Yes is the privacy option. states it contact ipinfo.io which i saw in the wireshark capture. I have declined it, will see if it trys to contact it again.
443 HTTPS same same...
