Chrome opens a lot of connections to do a lot of things. This is NOT an intrusion attempt but there are folk that wear tin foil hats and they can't be helped.
Since you like VPN, did you try Opera's VPN? I use it and find it's number of connections to be much lower than Chrome.
This is not an offer to duplicate prior discussions about Google Chrome and all those connections. I consider that discussion done and done.
I do a lot of video chatting and am wary of local IP intrusions in for the sole reason there is no reason whatsoever. The site server is either in the US or Holland.
For this, I have a VPN setup for Encryption and Anonymity for my security and privacy.
I use Chrome browser and using Spy Monitor app I discovered a local IP connection in Makati City (Manila) that was very suspicious. Sometimes, there were two IP connections but from the same range of IPs registered to APNIC.net with a local server connection. Very troubling indeed.
a. 122.2.129.168:443
b. 122.2.129.172:443
and more...
All local IP connections came from a whole range of IPs that were APNIC.net
1. How do I avoid or block such intrusions ?
2. As I stated above, I use a VPN connection for Encryption and Anonymity. How then can I add a firewall in this equation when only one VPN connection is allowed in my Android phone ?
2. What's more troubling is that these intruding connections when not found in Chrome connections would be found in other apps like Connections Stabilizer app, and even in Spy Monitor app, and com. google. uid. share, a system app that Spy Monitor app always includes in the list apps together with other apps with IP connections to your device at the time of checking.
3. Can someone help me as I'm stumped as to what's happening with all these intrusions of IPs controlled by APNIC.net.
4. How can I deal with such instrusions with regards to my online security and privacy?
Thanks in advance !
Sincerely
