Hello everyone, thank you for reaching out. I realize I might have overlooked important details in my earlier message, and I’m still getting familiar with networking and security tools. I noticed a few oddities while using the Enlisted launcher on my Windows machine. The game needs a separate app to download, and I assume it also checks anti-cheat status. Last night (5-13-2021) I experienced some unusual connection problems on Discord, which led me to review my Untangle dashboard for any anomalies. When I logged in, I was surprised to see large blue icons covering about 80% of the network map. There were nearly 1000 active sessions, and connections involved many temporary ports plus standard ones like SSL, FTP, etc. Is this typical behavior? I felt a strong intuition something wasn’t right, so I blocked several countries from accessing my network—mainly in Asia-Pacific, China, Russia, South America, the “-ivias,” and much of Europe. Was this an overreaction? The company behind Enlisted, Gaijin, has been operating for years and offers many titles on Steam, which I know is a reputable platform. I haven’t found any evidence of misconduct with this app, but I thought it’s worth sharing for others to consider. Take care, everyone.
