Blocked Internet Connection +Hub = freeze >1 minute

gents,
I block everything in my network that tries to communicate without knowledge of mine.
So I noticed that Cubase wants to connect during startup to various networks:
93.184.220.20:80
66.225.197.197:80
93.184.220.29:80
52.31.241.236:443
34.251.161.82:443

My firewall blocks that.
Opening the HUB freezes C10 for at least a minute. This might be due to the connection error C10 might receive.
My whole local and LAN playback (VEPro) starts hicking up heavily.

There might be a better approach of C10 to deal with the WAN background routines which do not disturb anything?!

What happens if you unclick the “Use Hub” option in preferences?

Regards :sunglasses:

it is already UNticked :wink:
