TOPIC:

Does anyone know why the minidsp continually contacts a server in Germany with an IP address 142.93.107.218?  My gateway device triggers a security detection each time and I have a log of thousands of these events which occur every 5 minutes.  I'm inclined to just block the address but I'm curious to why this happens.

Note: I'm not actually using the device at the time, I haven't checked what occurs when I am using it but will do so.

Ive attached a screenshot 

By googling this IP it's a matter of 10 seconds to find what this IP is and why your minidsp is connecting to this. So this is the official reply on volumio support forum by the administrators:

"This is an endpoint for the push OTA updater that we are building as an improvement to the current update mechanism (Volumio will tell you when a new update is available instead of you checking it manually).You’re seeing all this calls since our server for push updates is experiencing some technical issues since last friday, and the client tries to reconnect every 5 seconds. Once we’ll solve this (in a couple of days) you won’t see it anymore"
