I checked the logs of my WIFI router while looking for why my network may be slow. And I found that every 5 minutes to 2 hours, I get an error that my Deco WIFI blocked an attempted connection to ipv4.am.i.mullvad.net. With Classification: Proxy Avoidance.

The thing is, I don’t use Mullvad on my Mac and I’m 99% sure I never have.

So it appears my computer is trying to connect to this website behind the scenes, but I don’t know why.
