Doesn’t anyone else use things like OpenSnitch to audit all outgoing connections? I block all phone homes until something breaks, then investigate.

If you are trapped on Windows for some corporate reason, there is SimpleWall.

We’re friends, and friends don’t let friends let apps phone home.

The last time I got a virus on Windows I was only made aware because the built-in firewall warned me a Powershell script was trying to phone home.
Since then I run SimpleWall and I highly recommend everyone else do the same. It’s annoying at the beginning but annoyance turns into peace of mind when you known nothing, not even built-in Windows processes can phone home without you knowing.
