dcs18 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Is the number of UDP calls - less, more or the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkdjb Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Fcuk! 1e100.net is still there :angry:Did You Try Blocking It From Hosts File, Might Be A Good Start :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 :think: Try blocking the following range of IPs using your Windows Firewall Control:--74.125.0.1-74.125.255.254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Please note, the above range won't give you 100% relief - but, 1e100.net UDP calls should be reduced to a very negligible number of calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Fcuk! 1e100.net is still there :angry: Did You Try Blocking It From Hosts File, Might Be A Good Start :sYou can't do that. 1e100.net is just a domain. There are thousands of sites related to this domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 I was hoping for a domain blocking addon or something like that. I'm quite shocked not to have one such thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazigh Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Not in my windows 7 but those two processes svhost.exe were found in my windows xp when i checked their properties these processes were from some ms service when i disabled them i was unable to connect to the internetThe Process is needed for Windows update too, but I also think that this process is widely used for Spying too, Once I noticed my ISP using it to up/down some data! from my PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterupc Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 How about blocking it in your modem/router/cablemodem/whatever your ISP gave to you to connect to the net?And svchost.exe is a proxy for the application who's accessing the internet, so you should know which is... it's better to block it from requesting anything to svchost.exe than blocking a whole domain (if you can't do it with WFC).

May be the calls become less (don't know exactly though) but this thing is still eating my bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 So, the bottomline is - Fcuk you google for eating my bandwidth for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Finally there is some conclusion. The domain *.1e100.net is a google thing and it is necessary if you want to use any google products and run a website that interacts with google. There is nothing you can do about it.But when the browser is idle, *.1e100.net keeps using your bandwidth (sometimes) which isn't good for slow and limited data users. Well the good news is you can do something about it.Firefox users type about:config in the address bar and hit Enter twiceThen a list will be brought up with a search bar at the top. Type in safeSome results will be sorted out depending on the keyword typedFollow the screenshot below and change the value of each highlighted string to false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Most of those highlighted entries are not even present on my copy of Firefox - the ones which are present can be turned off by using the suggestion already made at post # 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 BTW, you just cannot mark the following false - you can leave them blank, if you like:--browser.safebrowsing.appRepURLbrowser.safebrowsing.gethashURLbrowser.safebrowsing.malware.reportURLbrowser.safebrowsing.reportURLbrowser.safebrowsing.updateURL If you mark the above false - you could be introducing instability into your browser.

rudrax Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Yeah, those are not boolean strings that only has true and false. So far, no stability issue is encountered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
