Anyone have an ideas on what app(s) could be the culprit? It seems to be regular enough to have it be 469 hits a day! Which is nuts. I would ask her, but as many children of a parent know’s, that’s like pulling teeth lol… But I figured some more tech savvy folks here might actually already have the answer as Reddit and search engines aren’t as reliable these days. 😣 Thanks in advance for any help as I’m stumped to figure it out as she complains about the battery drain incessantly.

Looking at signalfx.com it seems to be a platform to spy on app/website users, so could be anything. If your block of the domain does not cause the app to malfunction and her to complain, the only way might be to inspect the traffic. But that might require setting up a mitm attack with forged certificates. You might not want to go that far.

    Blocked it and she hasn’t complained anything’s broken so far so it’s hard to diagnose at my n00bish skill level. Sadly I don’t know how to set up a mitm attack because it could show the calls. I asked her what she’s doing, she says it’s Facebook. The problem is they continue even when she’s off her phone and I turned almost every Notification off on her phone and she thinks she’s WAYY more savvy than she actually is.

    It looks like the image is NextDNS, so chances are it’s how he found out what’s causing the drain. Guessing she isn’t seeing any signs of apps not working but its caused noticeable battery issues. 🤔
