It doesn't matter if you disable telemetry or not. Windows 10 still talking to MS.

    Has anyone else seen 192.168.1.1 displayed this way? If so, have you tried to connect using it? If so, what happened when you did?

    Sorry I wrote black instead of blank, anyway

    Not, me.

    Perhaps assuming that many routers are set up on that address, i never seen a router accessed via rdp.

    Perhaps that filed stores the connections only after a successful logon, so it's even more puzzling

    192.168.1.1 gets me a router, whose router I don't know, but it gets me a router. ;)

    That's right, and without entering the necessary port fowarding and dhcp info, no other connection will be made. I don't have W10 installed, so I don't know what shows up by default in the RDC, but the presence of 192.168.1.1 in the computer field should not be a problem. However, if port fowarding and your public IP are somehow enabled, then that is a problem.

    Keep in mind, that arstechnica post, they only flipped switches that are presented by default, they did not mention any methods or tools created by people related to the scene.

    I personally wasn't expecting these switches to actually disable anything. I've been watching my network traffic closely with Fiddler and there's absolutely no phoning home to Microsoft or anything strange, after I've modified everything to my liking.

    I also found have a few more addresses that should be added to the hosts file:

    127.0.0.1 blogs.msdn.com
    127.0.0.1 msstomsdnblogs.112.2o7.net
    127.0.0.1 i1.social.s-msft.com
    127.0.0.1 i1.blogs.msdn.com
    127.0.0.1 msstomsdnblogs.112.2o7.net

    I found the following lines trying to phone home using fiddler and I already have Metro completely disabled and am using Classic Shell, not sure where these were poking through.

    Edit: Someone whose cataloging addresses for hosts file, please PM me letting me know that you've added these to known lists circulating about so I know not to try and notify peoples, thank you.
