I’m considering using this tool to keep files in sync between a live server and a hot-spare, across the iNet. A sync tool should only need to talk to its sync partner. Imagine my horror to see it gleefully telling me its blabbing to a half dozen (approx.) other machines.
Just like malware! Hi CnC what mischief should I do today?. So I’m trying to determine if I can trust this software enough to recommend it as a solution.
I want this software to never talk to any machine other than its sync partner. No updates, bug reports, usage stats, shouting about its location, … dead silence, except to its sync partner.
I already feel violated with its malware like behavior. I’m hoping someone here can lay my fears aside and tell me how to shut it up. I don’t want to spend too much time with it in a sandbox under the inspection of WireShark. Or having to vet its software, which would require learning Go.
