Hi Everyone 
I’m new in here and this will become my first post 
I know this is an old thread but it hit the head of the nail.
I just started to use Obsidian today… and i was starting to swear as we all do more or less learning new software. LOL 
Then Obsidian tried to connect to *****45c-5gol. googlevideo .com and i just looked at my firewall message and thinking… what now!!! 
as i haven’t written a single ink in the different notes.
as i Block all google related content as i boycotting Google as a company, no traffic went out.
Do you guys know why this is happening and is it possible to tweak some settings in Obsidian to prevent network connections unless asked for?
I have set updates to manual and i have no account and i will not get one as i dont want to sync or have any cloud solutions what so ever.
I use Debian and installed Obsidian the last version with the Deb package.
I thank you all in advance for any kind of help
