Looking at my Pi-Hole logs, one app is trying hard AF to contact segment.io. The only issue is, it’s my second phone and while most apps are the same as what’s on my first, I tried uninstalling a bunch and it’s still trying desperately. Does anyone know of a way to find out which app is the culprit?

    Tracker control makes it really convenient to turn off internet access for a bunch of apps, perhaps that could speed up the trial and error? Though the tracker blocking functionality might kinda get in the way if it tries to block the segment.io traffic, so you might need to set it up specifically for your needs

    It’s an app that pretends to be a VPN so it can filter out network traffic from apps seeking to track the user, but its very easy to to just turn internet off for a given app
