Feature Request - Disable automatic connections to 10+ remote IP's

[Avrution]

Just discovered this program today when trying to figure out dual monitor support on mremoteng and really love it.

One big problem though, I don't like all of the remote connections it is making. Is there a reason so many are needed? Especially since most of them seem to be to Microsoft.

I see it trying to connect to 10 different IP's.

Hi @Avrution it seems that you are sensitive to the networking behavior of the app. You can eliminate the networking behavior of 1Remote through the following methods :)

1Remote will create the following two connections:

to App Center

Most of the connections are connected to appcenter.ms for analytical purposes, mainly for crash alert to import our app.

If you don't like it, you can disabled it by remove all refs to MsAppCenterHelper.cs and build the app yourself

1Remote/Ui/Utils/MsAppCenterHelper.cs

Line 24 in 37d2d2f

public static class MsAppCenterHelper

to GitHub

There is another link to access GitHub for checking version updates.

ban VersionHelper here can disabed the check:

1Remote/Ui/View/AboutPageViewModel.cs

Lines 21 to 25 in 37d2d2f

	var checker = new VersionHelper(AppVersion.VersionData,
	AppVersion.UpdateCheckUrls,
	AppVersion.UpdatePublishUrls,
	customCheckMethod: CustomCheckMethod);
	checker.OnNewVersionRelease += OnNewVersionRelease;

Appreciate the insight into the reason for the connections, but compiling my own is above my pay grade. 😁

Hopeful for a configuration option in the future to disable checks (in the 1Remote.json maybe) or would even pay for a version without telemetry.

Will keep an eye on things.
