Hello,

I have a couple of questions about how this project works, I will be very happy if you could take a moment to answer them:

  1. Is the conversion of traffic logs into spy,extra,update blocklists automatic, or do you do it by hand every time? Could you share some brief details on how you do that?

  2. In the case of IP blocklists, wouldn't they be geo-based? Say your testing is done on a server in the USA, but the user is in Europe. Surely Windows would prefer to connect to a closer server with a different IP?

  3. What happens when the same IP is used for both an important feature and telemetry?

Many thanks!

I am also curious what criteria are used to determine what qualifies as a "spy" connection as opposed to "extra"

Will be done in a dedicated section of the documentation through #256
