Ok...my apologies for asking about it again. Not being a DO user, the previous answer (back in March in a different thread) went in one synapse, got relayed to the client who had asked me about it, and then went straight out the other. Having forgotten, I asked about it a second time.-40hz (December 09, 2014, 06:29 AM)
@Ennovy - By "license checks" (as in plural) do you mean DO is one of those products that periodically or regularly "phones home" for a license verification even after initial installation?-40hz (December 09, 2014, 01:29 AM)
The times that Opus attempts Internet access are:
- When you use the FTP (or advanced FTP) features.
- When you use the ImageShack Upload or Flickr Synchronization features.
- When you send an email (or send a file via email) using the built-in SMTP client.
- When you run the update checker (or it runs automatically due to your Preferences settings), and when an update is downloaded. The update checker will make a port 80 HTTP connection to http://www.gpsoft.com.au (which is the same IP address as smtp.gpsoft.com.au, so you might see that in a reverse DNS lookup) for the main version check, and another port 80 HTTP connection to one of Google's servers to get an RSS feed of news articles.
- A third-party viewer plugin or Windows Explorer shell extension connects to the Internet. For example, the shell extension for Perforce (a source control system) is known to create network connections when you right-click files (more details). Shell extensions for various cloud storage systems may also connect to the network, for obvious reasons.
- When verifying the integrity of the program.
This last item involves the various methods Opus uses to protect against viruses and illegal use of the software (DRM). You can block these using a firewall if you wish - Opus does not attempt to "evade" or "get around" your firewall in any way. Legitimate users have no reason to be concerned by this activity, and none of your personal information is ever transmitted in this way.
That's usually the result of trying to use a pirate version or bypass the licence checks in Opus.-Ennovy (December 08, 2014, 06:16 AM)
Hmm, I'm not using https and it still shows blank space where people are obviously referring to something that should be where the blank line(s) are.-MilesAhead (December 08, 2014, 05:31 AM)
^Good to know. I wasn't aware of that. But I just checked and I used http not https so it wasn't that.-40hz (December 07, 2014, 10:59 PM)
To put it another way, was there a link in your post about Riks?-MilesAhead (December 07, 2014, 04:43 PM)
@questorfla: I really think just a post in one forum or the other is sufficient to bring us out of the woodwork-4wd (December 06, 2014, 06:32 PM)
Is that a pledge to polish off his problem? I'm sure he was just paranoid his query wood gather dust. I mean he doesn't seem like the type to go against the grain.-MilesAhead (December 07, 2014, 09:31 AM)
To access files protected by UAC, it still requires the end-user to run PowerShell 'As Administrator', and that is what the OP is trying to avoid, IMHO...-Ath (December 07, 2014, 06:35 AM)
I can write a wrapper for this by myself (AutoHotkey).-highend01 (December 06, 2014, 03:04 AM)
That certainly is the key feature for me. I just bought this one, I should have it by tomorrow:

There are people who don't block ads ... Allows quick enable and disable of Java, Javascript, Cookies, Image Animations, Flash, Silverlight, Images, Stylesheets and Proxy from the Toolbar. This is great for increasing security or decreasing bandwidth.
Loading images on demand would be the best solution-tomos (December 02, 2014, 09:44 AM)
