[EXTERNAL] RE: Unbound-Control.exe outgoing connections

Interesting thought, but that last one does not look like WU.
services.gfe.nvidia.com

 

I'll drop an email to NL support and see if they have an explanation.

Disclaimer that I am not a WU expert... Windows connects to Windows Update
servers periodically but I can't explain why the connection would originate
from the unbound control process. Is there any chance this is being
misreported somehow? Could you perhaps try running Netlimiter on a machine
that doesn't have Unbound installed? It should detect the same outgoing
connections.

Here is another example that has just popped up.

I use Netlimiter
(https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netli
miter.com%2F <https://www.netlimiter.com/>

connections then I I agree with what is being asked for I allow it and it
will work without issue from then on.

I have purposely left the setting as ask as I wanted to capture as many
instances as possible I could select deny and I would never get that popup
again.

I am hoping this will be useful at some point. The process ID no longer
exists in my system. I will take a look next time it pops up, that may shed
some more light.

Hi, Has anyone any idea of why on rare occasions Unbound-control.exe wants
to make the connection detailed below?

They pop up at random times and for do apparent reasons. I thought this
program was (mainly) to control the local instance.

Thanks
