Hey,

First, I want to leave a thank you very much for joplin, I have been using this as my main note app for quite a while (I had another account here a while back, but I lost it so this is a new one)

I instaled joplin on my company's macbook today, and since I have firewal on (which I dont use on my linux machine), I noticed some requests I wouldnt expect when starting the app. I tried to look for information on requests made by the app but couldn't find anything about this, would appreciate to know why they are being made:

```auto
- 13.38.218.148 (ec2-13-38-218-148.eu-west-3.compute.amazonaws.com)
- 2803:f800:53::3
- 162.159.61.3
- 172.64.41.3
- 185.199.110.133 (cdn-185-199-110-133.github.com)
- 69.16.230.42 (lb01.parklogic.com)
- 59.24.3.174
- 151.101.93.229

```

I didnt look to deep into the requests themselves yet because I imagined someone here would already know what they are about, and hopefully what I can do to have no requests at all when using the app (besides blocking with the firewal).

Im not a fan of having the app I use for personal notes making connections to the outside world, and honestly just feels like way to many different requests for a desktop app dealing with personal data. If there is a way to make it radio silent except by my explicit request I would apreciate (like when syncing or looking for plugins), or at least some information on what third parties are we communicating and leaking metadata to when using the app I would be happy to hear

PS: I have no plugins enabled, and I have been blocking the requests (so maybe some are retries from service that was blocked? idk)

It's all there: [Joplin Privacy Policy | Joplin](https://joplinapp.org/privacy/)

In your case it's because your network blocked the initial request to fetch the plugin list, so other mirrors were tried.

The code [that tries to find a working mirror (and thus the list of mirrors) can be found here](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/a863f924906d9a7ae94832f0b50a0c6dab803f27/packages/lib/services/plugins/RepositoryApi.ts#L23).
