Possible data leak?

ℹ️ Support

Hello all;

I recently reinstalled my server: Linux / debian stable
on it, nextcloud has been running for a long time, in docker mode.
However, I have installed since the reinstallation, shorewhall as a firewall to replace ufw.
Shorewhall is very good, but I have not opened the https ports. And since installing this firewall, including the update to “Nextcloud Hub 9 (30.0.5)” I have the following errors (this does not prevent Nextcloud from working or updating):

If I interpret correctly, nextcloud is trying to connect to port 80 of these sites.
Isn’t this a possible data leak?
Also, how can I modify these calls to use port 8080?

Thanks for your feedback.

Exactly the missing information about your system are needed to find hints.

This is part of a connection check, so in your status page, it shows you if there is a problem with the internet connection.

You have to change it in the code. However, how do you know that these domains have a service running at port 8080?

Or in the config.

These are fully documented in the Admin Manual. See Connections to remote servers and Configuration Parameters: has_internet_connection & connectivity_check_domains.

Thanks everyone for your answers.
I didn’t think I could find this kind of settings in the configuration file.

Thanks again for your responsiveness.
