[QUESTION] Connexion AWS server

[piedacoulisse2]

Hello,

I have a question about the C2. Why is there a connexion to the web server AWS 34.252.108.5 in the app ?

Best regards;

Hi,

the connection to that IP is necessary to obtain the public Alan server IP address. This information is handy during the creation of an agent (you have to specify a public IP address in order for the agent to connect to the server). More information on this aspect are provided in the guide (https://github.com/enkomio/AlanFramework/blob/main/doc/Alan%20Documentation%20-%20v7.0.514.10.pdf) on page 7.

Ok thank for the response.

You can also use to obtain the public ip with http://api.ipify.org insteed of AWS server.

yep. I might considering, for the next release, to use more than one URL to obtain the public IP, or give the possibility to disable the IP resolution at all.
