I am trying to block all connections to microsoft ip addresses. I only occasionaly boot windows and don’t want it phoning home. I tried disabling the net interfaces in device manager but windows just re-enables them and send god only knows what back to their servers. I don’t like relying on disconnecting the ethernet cable each time I boot windows because I forget to.
Windows 10 Enterprise + https://www.w10privacy.de/english-home/ + https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/manage-windows-21h2-endpoints to disable all spyware.
Don’t that there are some services that require a bit of work, for instance Windows gets time from MS servers, you can change that. There are other calls home for things such as updates, SSL certificate revocations and whatnot.
