I'm having a minor connection issue with vpn so I'm looking more closely at network. win7x64 cf_v10.2.0.6526@csconfig
I'm seeing when killswitch is running, it is always online with at least 2 connections

TCP 178.255.82.5 80 Established
TCP 104.16.60.31 80 Established

is this normal?
I don't exactly recall that from the past, but maybe it was. Looks like the ip are for
download.comodo.com
cloudflare

the other day I had cf open and asked it to check for updates and I got
X download websites database | error
status unspecified error.

wonder if that in any way related to ks being constantly online trying to download??
it seems that if I disconnect my vpn then I do not get this update error. /thanks

The killswitch connection always will occur- Remember that Killswitch will look for Unknown (Unutrusted) processes running, and will upload these to Comodo to see if they are malicious.

And the database download error does happen from time to time (usually only in my VM).
