Obsidian Outbound Connections Despite Disabling Updates?

Well, that likely explains my previous thread, Spellcheck Does Not Work Despite Enabling It. I didn’t realize Obsidian was calling home to Google for a spellcheck dictionary when there’s a perfectly fine spellcheck dictionary available locally. Turns out redirector.gvt1.com is blocked on the network perimeter.

I do, but the behavior was also observed in the sandbox. Is there a way to turn this regular check off?

At first I tried using the .deb, but the spellcheck didn’t work so I tried the Appimage, and the spellcheck still didn’t work. I’ve since moved away from a Debian based distro and have continued using the Appimage.

Thanks for sharing that link. Is there an option to make Obsidian completely network silent? I don’t want regular or periodic checks and prefer to perform this type of activity manually.
