Calls home when connected to private DNS

  • /e/ version: Pie custom build
  • Device model: S2/FP3
  • When it started to occur: always
  • Reproducible with the last /e/ version: -
  • Reproducible with LineageOS: -

Summary

I see calls home on custom Pie build. Tested Leeco s2 with only system apps installed. I see it also on FP3 custom build, but i use it as daily driver and i have other Apps installed.

  • The device is unusable
  • The bug is the source of a data loss or a big waste of time
  • The bug concerns a third party app
  • The bug concerns security
  • The bug concerns privacy

The problem

There are calls to Google when toggling wifi on/off.

Steps to reproduce Use a Pie version of /e/, set a private DNS, i recommend nextdns.io because it's free and you can see logs.

Toggle wifi on/off, and go to nextdns log page to see the calls to Google

What is the current behavior? Calls to Google.

What is the expected correct behavior? No calls to Google.

Technical informations

I can't use the official /e/ for Leeco S2 becaue Pie does not exist for it, and in Nougat private DNS is not available.
