Hello,

Using Process Monitor I always see my app connecting to *.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com.

Is this connection for checking digital signatures?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nikita

    Akamai runs what's probably the world's largest set of caching servers, they run a content distributions system used by major websites to provide fast web response on a global scale.

    AWS is a cloud computing service used by a large number of companies for caching internet content

    I know Norton Anti-Virus use this among a lot of other software companies, and as far as I know, so does Microsoft, this is a legitimate caching service and is honestly nothing to worry about . . .

    Hi Dave,

    Well, I have a clean Windows Server 2016 installation. Just my app and Windows Server 2016. I am pretty sure this connection is established for digital signature checking, but I need Microsoft to confirm this.
