GreyGray 15 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I have noticed that at seemingly random times, the Location Services icon will pop up in my toolbar. Today, I had no browsers open, and saw it pop up, as a matter of fact, I had only a terminal open. I know some background app is up to something, and today, I finally caught it in the act. EverNote Helper Application. Now, I don't care that it is doing location lookups, that is part of the applications feature set. However, if I don't have EN launched, it should not be getting my location. While i understand the helper app is always running in the background, as I have set the preferences that way, I think, to it is just how it is, what I don't get, is why it is contacting outbound. I have not made a note in hours, I have not interacted with EN in any way all day today actually. So, since I am assuming that there is no way that EN is sending my address info over the wire over SSL, when I watch the wire as traffic passes over it, what am I going to find? Link to comment
GreyGray 15 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Does anyone happen to know what port the helper app is talking on? Link to comment
