I do not use this player but from its 'Terms Of Use'Īrticle 5 (Collection and Use of Data and Other Information) The behaviour of this software is like a spyware and reports the data to a foreign country (should I be happy that is the S and not N Korea)?ĭoes anyone know any video player (other than VLC) that does not spy? (Once i prevented VLC from updating, it never attempted to contact anyone). Javascript is disabled in my computer and may have caused this? I attempted to register in the Daum PotPlayer forum but they have a graphical captcha that my computer did not display. I have logged some of the addresses it tries to connect to:Ħ5.151.98.204 (a non listed number in Haven, Kansas)ġ13.29.186.68 (Kakao Corp, Daum Communication Co.,LTD, in Korea!)Ģ03.133.166.24 (Daou Technology in Korea!)Ģ03.133.172.30 (Daou Technology in Korea!)Ģ03.217.239.28 (Daou Technology in Korea!) Curiously, it does not attempt to connect to my gateway or DNS, it seems to "know" I am already connected to the Internet!. I like to control when the apps I have installed access the internet: I have thusġ) Set the check for updates feature to never, I also went over other settings for a need to access the internet at other times, I found none.Ģ) Blocked the outbound access for PotPlayer, both to my network and the Internet.Įvery time I launch PotPlayer, it attempts to connect to the Internet through a number of IP addresses, not all the same every time.
I installed Daum PotPlayer v, dated 10:54:44 on a machine running Win XP SP3.
