Partkeepr try to access to remote urls, could it be dangerous?

[sruedat]

Hi, I've installed parkeepr from this source.
At the first time I did some probes with a virtual machine at home, and now that all is OK I've decided to put it on producction.

But my supprise is that partkeepr frontend page loads very very slow, I've found that my firewall is dropping some connections that partkeepr installation is trying to estabilsh:

api.snapcraft.io

and

pfote.drachenkatze.org

If I allow in my firewall access to these urls, partkeepr loads very fast but if I dont allow this urls the fronted goes slow again.

What is the porpuse of this external urls connections? (I've not found anything in the docummentation)

Thanks

drachenkatze.org seems to be tthe website of the original founder of PartKeepr.
