Hi. Not sure if I should be concerned or not, or for that matter if this is the correct location to post this. For time to time, my IPS/IDS picks up that my Volumio instance is polling an external IP address across lots of different ports. The source is my internal IP but the target is: 142.93.107.218:80 A “Whois” identifies Digital Ocean - this is a known hosting service, and good one at that. But I wonder if anyone can suggest/advise if this could be a problem or is just an occurrence where the Volumio instance has lost connection with it’s “mother-ship” service controller and trying to “phone home” using different ports? Thanks in advance. Roland ---

Hi, this is a Volumio server which handles a part of the update system. So, don’t worry, everything is fine. ---

Thought so. Thanks for confirming.
