Hi folks

Malwarebytes blocked outgoing website connection to:

ipv4.icanhazip.com:51208

It says the source was blueiris....
What exactly is it doing? (I did google it, so I have an idea)
Should I allow this connection to take place ?

thx
 
BI uses this site to pull your wan ip address. I think they now use the BI site on 4.5.5 to pull ip.
