Infosec Handbook Review Issues : “.... /e/ .. using Google for connectivity check:”

[These issues are created out of the Infosec Handbook review conducted on March 15, 2019. ]

(Issue title)

Infosec Handbook Review Issues : “We monitored all data connections of /e/ after restarting the phone. First of all, /e/ knocks on Google’s door by using its connectivity check:”

Summary

The infosec Handbook monitored all data connections the /e/ OS made after restarting and found calls to Google servers

Steps to reproduce

Read the Infosec handbook article here + We monitored all data connections of /e/ after restarting the phone. First of all, /e/ knocks on Google’s door by using its connectivity check:

  1. GET /generate_204 HTTP/1.1
  2. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.82 Safari/537.36
  3. Host: connectivitycheck.gstatic.com
  4. Connection: Keep-Alive
  5. Accept-Encoding: gzip

What is the current behavior?

Calls are being made to Google

What is the expected correct behavior?

There should not be any Google calls.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

(Paste any relevant logs - please use code blocks (```) to format console output, logs, and code as it's very hard to read otherwise.) (You can use adb logcat command to capture log of you device, when connected to a computer)

Possible fixes

(If you can, link to the line of code that might be the cause for this problem)
