Is that going to the trace service?

There was a falling out between teams while I was there because the cloud team wanted to collect stats from APs even when users disabled analytics in the UI. It was so bad that some of the developers and one of the leads quit because they didn't want to be a part of it.

Someone on Reddit started reverse engineering it https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/lwr4ud/update_ubi... The APs are reporting things like connected clients and client stats according to recent dumps. Do you have analytics disabled in the UI and this is still happening?

Yep, analytics is disabled. Thanks for the link, didn't look into the data being sent. But I can't confirm my devices trying to send out data if I SSH into them (just tried it for the 1st time).
I've DNS-blackholed trace.svc.ui.com (maybe it's slightly different, this is from memory) and plan to entirely wipe and sell all my UI gear within the next two months.
