Risky Connection Blocked

Post by W4EBB »

I have been on V2 for about one week and two times my McAfee Multi Access has "blocked your PC from making a risky connection".

IP Address: 52.216.21.61
Program: Log4OM 2

I could try to whitelist this IP if that is appropriate but I would like to know what is happening to cause this. The first time I decided to wait to see if it happened again - which it did. Probably 50 contacts in between the two McAfee messages.

Charlie,

I attribute it to McAfee being over-zealous. There is a bunch of behind-the-scenes work being done by Log4OM V2 at any given time.

I would white-list it. I used to use McAfee and got real tired of it blocking my day-to-day programs and being a general hog of resources on my PC. Went back to MS Defender about 7-8 years ago and have never had any issues. Doesn't work for everyone, but has worked very well for me.

Charlie,

That IP address belongs to Amazons AWS cloud, could it be that you have set something up in Log4OM v2 that points in that direction ?
