I haven’t conducted a thorough investigation, but the last container I added was SpeedTest Tracker and I am assuming that it’s using icanhazip.com and ifconfig.co to determine the best test servers based on my locale. I chose my own servers when I set it up. For the time being, I have both blocked and nothing seems to complain. SpeedTest Tracker still crons ever hour with success.
