      @Antibiotic take a look at netstat to see what process is doing it.. Could be some addon in your browser as well.

      as admin in a cmd prompt run netstat -anb

        TCP    192.168.9.100:18958    208.123.73.77:443      ESTABLISHED
       [firefox.exe]
        TCP    192.168.9.100:20572    34.107.243.93:443      ESTABLISHED
       [firefox.exe]
        TCP    192.168.9.100:21258    146.75.77.91:443       ESTABLISHED
       [firefox.exe]
        TCP    192.168.9.100:21274    178.162.173.120:443    ESTABLISHED
       [firefox.exe]
        TCP    192.168.9.100:21326    151.101.193.188:443    ESTABLISHED
       [firefox.exe]
        TCP    192.168.9.100:21329    146.75.77.188:443      ESTABLISHED
       [firefox.exe]
        TCP    192.168.9.100:21340    23.33.29.88:443        ESTABLISHED
       [firefox.exe]
        TCP    192.168.9.100:21381    142.250.191.164:443    ESTABLISHED
       [firefox.exe]
        TCP    192.168.9.100:21384    104.18.17.97:443       ESTABLISHED
      

      Or you could use tcpview

      btw - I tried talking to that IP on both 443 and 80 and nothing answers anyway.

          @Antibiotic I see a 6881 port in there - you running torrents? Also that 6900 port also common torrent port.. So yeah I would expect IPs from all over.. I mean all over!!

              @Antibiotic blocking outbound while your running a torrents going to drastically reduce the overall capability for it to function at its peak.

                It looks like bit-torrents, Azure, Limewire, something like that. If you use snort you could activate openAppID and see what it is in a second

                    Maybe he is running torrents on purpose? He did say it was his laptop.. How would torrent just show up without the user knowing they were running torrents?

                          @Antibiotic get rid of that torrent client eventually it’s gonna break stuff if you keep using it. Trust me. Stop using it, think about how many ports you need open. It just takes one bad download
