Hello,
I installed my PiHole a couple of weeks back and I'm enjoying the reduced ad content. I'm not sure my wife has noticed...
Anyway, I had a look at the statistics and I see a lot of requests from my phone to mabbox.bytel.fr. bytel.fr is the domain for Bouyges Telecom, a large ISP here, in France. Their modem/router product is called BBox and their general goto domain for problems with service is mabbox.bytel.fr. So far, so normal.
The problem that I have with this is that I don't have any service with Bytel. I use another ISP for both home and cellphone. The only possible connection is that I have a dual SIM phone and my "other" SIM is from a different country and is therefore in roaming mode and picks up Bytel as it's the strongest signal here. I only use that SIM for calls and texts, no data.
So why is my phone making lots of lookups to mabbox.bytel.fr? Is there a good way of tracking down which app on my phone is generating these requests, or if it's only connected with the cell service on my second SIM? I am slightly surprised that for a 3g or 4g voice only cell signal my phone would be performing DNS lookups.
Thanks for any insight you may have, or if there is a better place to post this, let me know.
Thanks
