Akamai also have CDN services, which mean some company use akamai for their software. You can block akamai.net in your "host" file to save your mobile data if you're sure it won't interfere with your productivity.
Eg. Adobe, Ookla, etc. This post has been edited by cassian948: Jul 14 2020, 10:34 PM |

QUOTE(MrRemz @ Jul 15 2020, 07:22 AM) I did cx everything. After reinstalling Win10 & did a review, it's still there. Then I installed Win7. Problem solve. But I'm facing other problem... Mostly software I use need Win10 to get it's functioning. Then reinstall again Win10. This time I didn't use fast install mode. I use customize install. I do cx and read everything before clicking next button. But in the end... The problem still occurred. What you could do is pinpoint which application that use akamai.net, use resources monitor to check which application handle url destination for akamai.net and then, if that application access to Internet is safe to be blocked, then just block it. |

QUOTE(MrRemz @ Jul 22 2020, 05:18 PM) I do monitor. It's a clean windows installation with out any other software installed. Just install windows 10 + my DLink Device for WiFi connection. The issue is not with Windows 10, but your tethering. You can't tell Windows 10 to selectively connect to internet just because you have mobile data quota, Windows will self decide if any of its application need access to the internet.You said you've installed GlassWire, that application should provide you with enough information on what to do.   |
