Privacy Implications of Windows Server 2016 Telemetry: Summary: Top Domains for Telemetry Over HTTPS

Posted on

These domain names were collected from 505 days of continuous recording of Windows Server 2016 telemetry traffic. Virtual machine and traffic recording software was configured as explained here. Raw traffic dumps were processed as explained here.

List of https-related domains has 336 entries, sorted in descending order by total number of outgoing HTTPS connections initiated by Windows Server 2016 operating system (with telemetry level set to zero (Security) and without any third party software). We did not include domains which had less than 3 outgoing HTTPS connections.

All this traffic was encrypted in such way that it can’t be decrypted by end user or ISP, only by Microsoft and third parties trusted by Microsoft.

Software solution

Are you looking for a software that can block telemetry, Windows Updates, OneDrive, builtin ads, tracking of your location and other unwanted Windows network activity on your PC?

Are you tired of mere “registry tweakers” whose tweaks are mostly ignored by Microsoft anyway, and after applying all of them, 95% of Windows traffic still gets through to the Microsoft?

Do you need truly airtight remedy for data leaks?

FlashBoot and Emergency Boot Kit are the ultimate solutions you’ve been looking for.

  • Use FlashBoot to create a USB installer for privacy-enabled Windows OS.
  • Use Emergency Boot Kit to add traffic filtering to your existing Windows installation — no reinstall needed.

They can block all unwanted traffic of Windows 10/11, making the OS completely quiet online — something other tools can’t achieve.
