My Skynet logs contain several blocked outbound connections to pdst.fm.
After some investigation, I found that Overcast lists several podcasts my partner and I listen to in the privacy section that connect to pdst.fm.
I couldn't find anything about pdst.fm when I searched the forum. I seem to have no problem leaving it blocked. My partner has problems downloading podcasts sometimes when on the home network, and I wonder if this could be a cause.
Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone have any pros or cons of whitelisting versus remaining blocked? My gut says to whitelist it because we use our phones outside the home network anyway, so the app will eventually send the metrics. Skynet allows other tracking services, adding to my gut feeling that I should permit it. Is there something else I haven't considered?
It looks like pdst.fm shouldn't be blocked, based on what I read here: https://github.com/lightswitch05/hosts/issues/160
