Greenshot Phoning Home

1

I am trying to trace and close any unnecessary network traffic, and noticed that Greenshot maintains open internet connections. Nothing in the documentation addresses this. Is this supposed to happen? Can it be disabled? Thanks in advance.

2Do you have "Update check interval in days" set to 0? – User025 – 2020-01-18T21:14:14.937

Thanks for the quick reply. No, I cannot find that setting. – Alf Flowers – 2020-01-18T22:24:05.683

According to https://getgreenshot.org/help/ it should be under general settings

Greenshot automatically checks for updates, you can disable them under general settings.

Update check interval in days: Greenshot can check for updates automatically. Use this setting to adjust the interval (in days) or set it to 0 to turn off update checks.
