OpenSnitch firewall registered that KDE Plasma wants to connect to the ecb.europe[.]eu which is European Central Bank domain. I wanted to post this on Reddit on KDE subreddit but Reddit is trash so for some reason it removed my post and after that account as well (lmao, ffs). So I came back to ol’ good forum.

Question is, why its trying to query this domain? Whats happening? I saw on Librewolf subreddit few weeks ago that some guy had his Librewolf trying to connect to this domain as well.

@wonderer Hi and welcome to the Forum :smile:
Not a Plasma user, but looks like the Unit Converter Plasma Search plugin is enabled.

Thanks. I disabled that and Ill see if it will happen again. Another thing is, not related to OpenSUSE tho, is that Firefox is trying to do the same thing. I am not sure if thats some plugin trying to connect to it or Firefox itself. Ill need checking that as well
